Mike, I agree with you. Jim and all who say that browser support is going to be put out when IE 8 is out and HTML five is finalized, I want you to take note that it is very unlikely that HTML is going to undertake many major changes in under a month or two or three, as it has been in the works for a long time now. If GWMicro was waiting for HTML 5 to come out so that they can do it right, then I would semi-understand. However, it has been somewhere around three years since GWmicro has said that they were going to revamp browse mode, and it's been longer than that since users have been complaining about issues with it. This was all before HTML five was even dreamed of. If I, the user, have to wait for GWmicro to come up with some update that they've said they were going to put out for about three years now and the only thing holding it back is HTML five, then this doesn't seem like a good reason to me. Besides, I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're noble enough to care what costs they passed onto the user. They're charging now for this upgrade that essentially adds JAWS features that were added in the last three versions of JAWS. The more and more I look at their guess what emails, the more I listen to podcasts, the more I feel that Window-Eyes is now JAWS with the Window-Eyes name. Ask for help, new UI changes,
