The spelling errors and sweeping statements tend to detract somewhat from any
truths being revealed here. I thought the connections beteween Access
Technology and funding verses society were interesting but unfortunately not
noval but nothing much beyond that. Also the mention of Apple (including the
spelling mistakes of which the Apple brand name was one) I would humbly contend
would certainly be a matter for debate if not sweeping generalisation with
those who are not Macintosh evangelists, and been there and got the T-shirt.
The I read his article it seemed to be that he enjoyed the fact that he had
pissed off the ATG and that they didn't want to talk to him, this is unlikely
to adduce any insight. This may be a blog but it certainly isn't jourmnalism.

Subject: [access-uk] Truth About Windows Vista And The Assistive Technology
Industry
OK, subject line is a big claim, but this guy does tell us some home truths
about access tech.
Many have, maybe deliberately, tried to make out that I and other critics
have it wrong about costs and technical realities. Well, I guess I'll have to
live with that, but I largely agree with what is said at the blogg belowe.
that's not to say criticisms cannot be levelled else where; but this is a good
place maybe to start if an informed discussion is what you are interested in.
So, go to:
http://therangerstation.blogspot.com/
Then search for,
truth about assistive technology industry
This'll bring you to what the author describes as a rant about Vista and
assistive tech - although not the usual MS and other bad boys of the industry
sort of bashing. Seems some interesting things are going to become apparant
very soon now, re. Vista and new screen reader releases, and a flavour of this
has already surfaced on GW Micro's list, but enough for now.
HTH.
