Yes, as much as I'd love Microsoft to do something much bigger and better
put together than narrator, I doubt that they will. I just can't see what's
in it for them. We can keep going on about comparing it to IOS, but I doubt
that that it makes much difference to Microsoft. Would it be realistic to
expect a good built in screenreader? Of course. Is it realistic to expect it
in this day and age especially considering progress of mainstream access
solutions included in IOS and Android? Of course. Sadly, being realistic
also means that it probably won't happen.

Hi Mike,
I'm anti Microsoft just throwing a screen reader together. Narrator is not
an example of fine work.
All the best
