I'm afraid that's how I've come to look at it as well, as an entertainment
console.

Hello,
I honestly think that the lack of Voiceover accessibility of the MS Office
suite holds back many potential Mac users from switching over. For example,
I've spent much time talking with adaptive tech specialist, rehab and state
agencies and, most see the Mac as a entertainment console instead of a well
rounded machine that can support both ones professional and leisure
computing tasks. These agencies are all about getting visually impaired
people through college, vocational training, and ultimately employed. They
look at the lack of MS Office accessibility as a non starter for those
wanting training or, access to Macs. Many blind and visually impaired
people look to these institutions for their computer training and equipment.
If the Mac could be viewed as a more productivity driven computer, the
better.

Welcome Sara,
I am glad you made it on the list. I'm excited to see what comes of
this. To my fellow peers on this list, Sara and I have been communicating
everyday for a week. I can assure you she is interested. Just by the
questions she has asked. I personally wrote a note to Microsoft about the
lack of accessibility. sara contacted me the very next day. I appreciate
that when I explained about our lists, she took the initiative herself to
join. I contacted the moderator last night to expedite getting her here.
It's more genuine coming from her. Me not being the middle man.
