The problem with the fact taht so much blind are working for the gov under 
W$ whiel X-window stil can't be a functional alternative, causes the 
refusal of an entire blind community to push/promote the usage of free and 
opensource solutions;
the real problem is that in fact last week M$ refuses to implement ODT in 
the future Office Suite, so in fact M$ is the source of discrimination, 
not the ODT;
but the relation is: how long must blind people who definitely has 
prefered opensource and free solutions, must wait until we will have a 
full functional OOo, firefox, and some other very important apps who may 
be used in job situation?

I'm not a specialist, I just think there is a relation between the 
reaction of a community and the absence of any alternative, even if this 
alternative is promissed since years!
