Now now Ryan, don't put up the barriers before doing anything. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Hi Katherine: While I admire your spirit, I'm not too sure how far that's going to get you. I've talked with the accessibility helpdesk at Microsoft, and beyond the basics of Windows and Office, they really don't know too much more about other Microsoft products at this point. It wouldn't hurt to voice your concerns, of course, but I highly doubt they'll know where to go with all of them. I've been working with our TAM and the accessibility person from the System Center/InTune team for the past few months, and its slow, but I think we're getting somewhere at least with SCCM. What I'd recommend you do is write up very specific ways to reproduce every accessibility issue you can, make sure they're reproducible, include what you expect to happen and what actually happens, then open support tickets with Microsoft. Make sure they're not screen reader issues, but genuine Microsoft issues, and my experience is Microsoft will file them as bugs.

Hi all, Possibly next week, I plan to call up the Microsoft Accessibility hotline and hopefully get some folks who know what they are talking about so that I can in a very systematic fashion, pour out all of the accessibility issues I see with as many products from Microsoft as possible, and I won't stop escalating the issues until every single one has a solution.
