I for one think that GW Micro has put out a very good product and is
less than the product that its competition puts out. Every company
that creates and pprovides a product for the comsumer is entitled to
make a profit as well. That being said GW Micro has the best
support system and personell over everyone of their
competetors. That is what is so great about this country. If you
think profit is bad then go live in a country that loves to take
what you make and give it to someone who does nothing for it!!

Subject: GW Micro Responds to the Future of Screen Readers
Discussion Panel Questions
"GW Micro believes that having a free screen reader as part of the
operating system does a disservice to Blind computer users."
I thought this to be a hypocritical viewpoint. Somewhat charlatanistic.
It is highly prejudicial to exclude low income users, or encourage
an over priced payment plan like some sort of layaway. The price is
highly debatable. It's seems to have to many zeroes.
I think it's a typo, but no one seems to see it. (pun intended)
The program itself is not even practical, nor signifigantly better
than the windows narrotor for common use.
Perhaps I should write the Obama administration to see what he
thinks about GW micros position on affordable pricing of screen
readers for the blind/disabled.
If the president tested Window Eyes head to head with "real"
software for the blind, he would have to "keep it real" and tell you
exactly as I have. If not then we have a conspiracy on our hands,
where the blind are being held back on purpose for extra
profits. Or possibly for backdoor code abilities that rely on
accessibility to mask their true intent.
I will not allow exploitation of the blind, in any case.
Window Eyes could be much better within a couple months of work.
I mean several times better than it is right now. I know this for a
fact because I am a developer that has done it. I'd crumple WE, and
throw it in the trash if I were blind.
GW probably knows it too, but keeps it secret from the users,
because they just don't want to spend the time required to fully
wrap their heads arround it. Or they can't, yet still want to enjoy
the positive cash flow. The price shows the greed, not crafsmanship.
