You can thank me as many times as you wish.
The bug problem for the Windows commercial screen readers from
VoiceOver is that it will force Microsoft to follow suit and include
a screen reader as well either by buying one or building one. And
once Microsoft does that the market for commercial screen readers is
killed and with it the companies that made them and that support
outfits like the AFB. So the AFB is just protecting it own financial
self-interest. Interesting the conflict of interest with Christa
Earl who used to work for G. W. Micro.

Hi everyone,
I swear my heartfelt thanks to Greg was only sent once, but it's
like, arrived in my inbox about 3 times. Not that he doesn't
deserve it but I didn't want you guys thinking I'm sending the same
msg over and over again.
On another topic, in reference to that article about Voiceover
from AFB I think it was. I find it odd that the spokesperson if I
was listening right was Christa Earl. I know she worked for G. W.
Micro because with my first version of either Window-eyes that I
bought back in the late late 90s or maybe it was even Vocal-eyes
which I bought much earlier than that back in the good old Dos
days, she read the manual.
Maybe that's why there is what seems to be a knee-jerk reaction
to another Operating System threatening, well maybe that's too
strong, but potentially being at least a nuisance to the big 2
American Screenreader manufacturers. By the way in no way do I
want anyone to think I'm dissing G.W. Micro or Window-Eyes, to me,
in my and only my opinion on this date and time is the best screen
reading software for Pc's on the block.
Commercial, and observations over. thanks for listening.
Rob
