I'm glad he brought up accessibility. My company has been working on a remote desktop product [1] that addresses this issue, particularly for blind users. The connection carries audio output from the remote machine, and the keyboard input handling code on both sides is designed to work with the quirks of screen readers, so running a screen reader on the remote machine works well. Beyond that, if the remote machine isn't running a screen reader, there's a way to get speech output on the controlling machine using the open-source NVDA screen reader for Windows, without requiring audio output on the remote machine. We still need to work on Braille output and screen magnification, and we've only started thinking about alternate input methods, so this doesn't cover everything, but the problems are solvable.
