Hello Rajiv, I partially share your sentiments. I am ecstatic about my Mac, love a lot of its functionality but find myself wishing that I had more word processing options that worked well with VoiceOver. If I discover a word processing app that works well on the Mac with VO and gives me the same level of accessibility that I have with Window-Eyes and MS Office, I will let you know.
All of that having been said, I love my Mac, and find myself using Windows less and less.
