Relatively speaking it was relatively simple after a relatively
extensive amount of code translating, a relatively time consuming
process of regression testing, and a relatively nominal fee (thanks,
Microsoft) for getting our new 64-bit drivers signed.

There's GW Micro's own statement on Main Menu when Vista came out that
porting Window-Eyes to 64-bit would really be a relatively easy thing to
do once they felt it was important enough to do it.

A small task to port a screen reader from 32 bit to 64 bit? Hmmm, Chris,
what programming expertise do you have to warrant such a statement?

Subject: Re: Window eyes and 64bit systems
Actually, our guys came through and weren't lagging too far behind the
competition on this one, makes me proud.
We indeed have 64 bit.
I mentioned to the fine folks about some time ago, or some such when vista
32 had just come out and that was probably the easy code to do.
I said 64 bit was gonna be the big thing, and they were starting to become
more and more on systems even then.
I got spanked for mentioning such a thing 'grin',
because gw were patting themselves on the back for vista 32 release,
but serious attention could and should have been implemented then because
some of us could see which way the pig was running.
And sure enough, 64 bit is taking over now and how nice if we'd been first
because vista 32 isn't that big a deal and I believe in my heart that 64
bit flavor of vista, and most likely 64 bit windows 7 will be the winner
like xp is.
Vista 32 was a big flop in the industry and everybody knows it.
Hmmm, let's see 4 gig architectural limit, but more over-head for the os
equals less memory for the programs, equals doggy performance.
So atleast now because I don't have a 64 bit version of jaws, if I want to
slap 64 bit sonar on this fine dual core machine and not cripple it with a
32 bit os, and really get in to high gear, even with no scripts and such,
I might have some chance at access because all the versions of sonar since
version 5 will do 64 bit.
So thanks guys for not making me wait too long 'grin'.

Hi,
Does WE support 64 bit OS yet? I'm asking because I placed a order on
Monday for a new desktop system from Dell and I just found out that it's a
64 bit system. I really hope it is one because I haven't been around in a
while.
