I dont like this very negative statement about Linux in a press release.
Actually it is also missleading. E.g. (SuSE) Linux has since a long time the
capability to be installed with a Braille device. Also the GUIs of Linux have
already since a long time features which help the disabled. Of course there
is very much room for improvement!
