hi,
exactly like I keep saying they are putting in the stuff they need so that
they don't have to do it twice. I am starting to wonder why this is such a
hard concept.

Subject: RE: Guess What? - Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 - New User Interface
Or, if one takes the time to read between the lines of all of the
statements from GW Micro, the path to 8 was a much larger load of work
than anticipated and they went with 7.5 because they decided it was a good
halfway point between where we are and where we are going to be with 8.
Also, perhaps, just perhaps, the solution to the browse mode problems,
something that I too experience and find frustrating, is something that
requires some of the other changes? I wonder how well the solution to the
problem would work if done with an MSAA framework when MSAA goes away?
Just a thought.
I was frustrated to hear about 7.5 and what it wouldn't have since browse
mode issues are a big deal to me and especially since I am on my last SMA,
but them's the breaks. I would personally rather have a solution that will
work for the long term with the current situation and with an eye to the
future. GW now has direct contact with Microsoft and has an idea of where
things are going with Windows and whether or not they are having to catch
up on any particular area or not, I think it is wiser to do things right
rather than do them quickly, something that is hard to do in the world of
software and that often doesn't leave happy consumers.
Also, on the annual fee versus SMA thing, bad idea. Perhaps as an option
for some would be fine, but if one is going through tight times, one then
has to come up with the fee to keep up one's software or face falling
behind and having to pay whatever catch up fees might be required to buy
back in. I doubt it would be feasible to say that someone who has stopped
paying for a long period can just start up at the same rate again any more
than one can expect to pay the same for jumping from WE 3 to 7.5 that one
would pay to jump from 7.2 to 7.5. One faces something similar with SMA,
but I just don't care to have yet another annual expense added to what I
already have, particularly since there is no way to guarantee that I will
get something worth the fee each and every year.
Regards,
Chris

and perhaps one of the reasons they are labeling it 7.5 rather than 8.0 is
that they don't have a ready fix.
Still, while Robert is technically correct, it hardly is much consolation
to the customer struggling with those issues.
