Re: [orca-list] favorite linux distros.

I don't know.   Hard to really ask for much improvement considering you 
get free access to a commercial screen reader.  These days, if you have 
MSOffice 2010 or higher, you get free Window Eyes.  Better accessibility 
support for Access would be nice.  I mostly use Lync and Powerpoint and 
am pretty satisfied with both products.
