That's funny. You used to not feel this way. I wonder what's changed?
Chris Belle said the following on 9/26/2008 11:04 PM:
We7 has the potential to become a good product, but now it is buggy and
somewhat un-reliable.
And the scripts that come with it need work too.
Nobody wants to hear this when they've worked hard to get something out
the door.
I use both jaws and window-eyes and have pushed the limits of both.
I have no love for the practices of fs, but I will say the things jaws
does well, it does very well.
Also I am using a stable older version of jaws, and so you can't make a
fair comparison between a mature product and one just being born.
And heads of companies are only human and sometimes make less than
prudent decissions.
The worst scripts to cause we sluggishness are probably progress
indicator and auto-complete and maybe lvnav.
I always get rid of those and that helps.
Until the first major bug squashing release of a service pack or some
such, these are things that most software buyers and users put up with,
we get to pay for beta software, testing for free while the companies
churn out bugworks versions after version.
We're just not used to this with gwmicro, but considering the minimal
resources they have compared to fs, it's amazing that we got re-worked
and out the door in the time it did.
Folks got to eat, and well, I guess someone thought it was worth the risk.
Considering the vast amount of resources fs has, shame on them for not
doing better.
But when your top dog you can be lazy.
But for all my oppinion was worth I did suggest that a bit more time be
taken to squash bugs.
But I don't have to live with the consequences, because I'm not the one
taking tech support calls from frustrated people who got a product that
didn't work as advertised.
Well, here's to we7.1 and getting back to the stable response we with
scripting working right.

Now that is funny, Afraid of installing WE 7 thinking that JAWS would
be better. Obviously you haven't seen the bad products and bad
service that FS puts out. WE 7 is a very good product.

Hi, I to am scared I haven't bought it yet. I just am waiting for
some good reports about it. turning scripting off makes it work
better, but it is just like running 6.1 with new eloquence. and not
worth the $175. This is the first time in 11 years, that I am
considering switching to jfw, or just staying back in 6.1 or even
going back to 5.5

Subject: I'm scared
I received a CD of 7.0 yesterday and I am scared to death! I don't
know
whether or not I should install it because of all the posts about
losing
speech and needing to reboot. I suppose I could try it in one of my
PCs
and
see what it's like. Should I wait until the issue of speech loss is
resolved? I have a braille display so I would have braille if speech
failed, providing WE is still running. What are your comments?
