Microsoft Striving for Assistive Devices
The Microsoft logo is shown as four small squares of green, yellow, blue and red put together to make a larger square that appears to be waving like a flag.At a recent conference held for Microsoft developers, the CEO showcased a current project headed by a visually impaired engineer.
 
During the conference, CEO Saqib Shaikh showed a video of the engineer using the product he is creating in real life situations. “For Microsoft, the video was a clear indication of the company’s ambitions to put its technology to work solving more challenging problems than document formatting or server maintenance.”
