I know it's become very chic these days to talk bad about Microsoft (PC vs Apple commercials), especially how "bad" Vista is. But the truth is, there is a lot of good in Microsoft and Vista. It's always easy to find fault with the "standard" and overlook the good parts.
One of the "hidden" divisions of Microsoft is the one responsible for accessibility. Simply named Enable on their website. This part of the Microsoft website provides information on all of the accessibility options for all Microsoft products. Some you have heard of or even used, others you might surprise you.
For the hearing impaired, the ability to turn on visual notification for sounds or for people with dexterity issues, sticky keys or using mouse keys. There disability accommodations built into MS products are free except for the base product price.
Take some time and browse through the Enable site and then stop and consider that Microsoft really didn't have to take their accommocations to this level. In all fairness, I don't think Apple has placed as many resources towards accommodations.
