In my work as an Assistive Technology Tutor I concur that more students use Windows that mac and that the technology is better designed for windows than Mac as I teach both.
As for the external resources - this year the DSA has stopped providing Microsoft Office as part of their package as universities include Office 365 in their provision.. The AT software provided often needs Office and does NOT work with Open office, the OU is the only university I have come across which doesn't provide Office 365 so their AT students are disadvantaged.
