All Window Eyes upgrades can be downloaded and installed on any computer with a previous version installed. I'm glad GWMicro does the upgrades as they do, requiring a Cd for any new installation, because we don't have the hassle of activation everytime we want to install Window Eyes on another computer. I have Window Eyes on several computers which I am the only user of the Window Eyes. Just try that with any other software! You'll be limited to one or just a few installations. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Belle" <[email protected]> To: "Chris G" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 14, 2010 8:39 AM Subject: Re: window eyes image and cd
Dude, These updates are generated and deleted dynamically 'grin'. They wouldn't have to be stored on servers permanently. If you want to know the truth, there's probably only a few bytes that are changed in each update you download, in some mysterious dll, and that could be slapped in to a single distribution and away we go. It wouldn't even necessarily have to be an iso, it could be rared or zipped up, I've just dumped my files from a we cd many times on to a flash drive or another partition and run installs that way. There's no special format on the cd, no extra sessions, nothing like that. It would require more bandwidth for downloading though, that's for sure. But we could despense with manuals, and other junk that makes the cd big, like jaws installs do. No I'm not patting that company on the back, I use them but I don't like their ways, but I'm just saying that if they can do updates all from the web, we could do if enough of us wanted them and gw listened to us. Again, this is not meant in an argumentative or complaining manner, only a long time customer throwing out food for thought for better service. It's not the worst thing in the world to do the snail-mail thing, but much nicer to get it instantly, beam me up Scottie.
