The spam system is completely automated and Akismet has been known to 
mark quite a large number of false positives, so having a comment of any 
kind marked by Akismet as spam is not at all uncommon. Having said this, 
I'm not sure where the perception comes in that non-free operating 
systems provide a better accessibility experience, or how that 
perception will help further our cause. I have been using 
GNOME+Orca+free GNU/Linux operating systems exclusively since 2009, and 
I can't say that my experience with accessibility has been even close to 
unfavorable, and it has improved quite rapidly just over the past year, 
since I now have a level of access to qt applications that I never even 
dreamed possible just 2 years ago, and that level of qt accessibility 
far surpasses the level of qt accessibility on Apple computers and 
devices, not to mention the fact that Firefox can't be made to work with 
VoiceOver on a Mac, which is a state I find extremely sad, albeit 
typical, from a company who continually receives the highest praise for 
its lackluster accessibility performance. On the Microsoft side, 
accessibility is also taking backsteps, as Windows 8 is a nightmare, and 
is in fact seen by many Windows users, as a complete joke as relating to 
accessibility, as well as many other aspects of the OS.

Does Canonical need to devote more resources to the expansion of the 
accessibility team and the improvement of the accessibility stac? 
Absolutely. Does accessibility need to be a primary concern for any OS 
or desktop or smart phone environment? No question. But the best way to 
make it known that this is a requirement is not by telling developers 
and companies that it's sad that their competitor does abc better when 
in fact, their competitor has bigger problems with xyz. Rather, the best 
way to raise awareness of what we need in an accessibility stack and a 
team of developers working on it is simply letting them know that 
accessibility is a major requirement for any OS or interface, letting 
them know what improvements are needed that would help us to be able to 
use the OS or interface better, and contributing to development of the 
codebase if possible, which is something that can *never* happen on a 
non-free operating system where even error reports fall on deaf ears.
