I'm afraid that I have to disagree with your comments, to a certain extent. I agree that there is no such thing as the perfect program, but I do think that the beta cycle should last until as many bugs as possible have been eradicated from the application. GW have always risen above the "Get it out quick and we'll fix it later" belief of some other screen reader producers, and subsequently they have always given us stable screen reading software, which causes us as little a problem as possible. This means that they then have a period of 12-18 months where their users are happy with their new toy in which to develop new and improved features for the next release of Window-eyes. You've all heard the saying, now try this one for size. I think it fits into the philosophy of GW Products and their release strategy.
If it is broke, don't release it!!

A lot of people have found things that I never would have thought of because there are a lot more applications out there than I use. However, it seems to me that you can never have the perfect program, and that there will always be some bugs in a new release. Although, on the other hand, it does sound like kind of a good idea.
