You must live in a different world.
I'm just a user who has struggled with computers and usability for a good many years.
This is an area where I have always given credit to Microsoft. Of course, MS sells to schools, organisations, etc. where the software must conform to certain standards on usability etc. and hence they pretty much have to make their software work for the disabled.
Speaking of "standards" and "Microsoft" in the same sentence is antithesis.
Possible thesises aside, in this respect they are showing the way, irrespective of what you or the Richard Stallmans of this world would have me to believe. My view on this has been shared by many over the years. It seems your experiences are different. Good for you.

And you are not buying it.
I'd buy if I were able to. Thanks, Tero Pesonen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
