Buddy,
Yes. Current Software Maintenance Agreement owners will always receive
CDs of newly released major versions. It's one of the advantages of
owning an SMA.

For us SMA having people, will we get a new CD, or do we have to order one?
(I've mislaid my 7.5 CD someplace, it's probably in one of several piles of
CDs…)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Wayne, Indiana (December 5, 2012) - GW Micro, Inc. (www.gwmicro.com) is
proud to announce the release of Window-Eyes 8.0!
The new version of Window-Eyes enables people who are blind or visually
impaired to browse the web in a whole new way with automatic Browse mode,
support for web 2.0 technologies, such as Accessible Rich Internet Applications
(ARIA), and a new set of intuitive hotkeys for a simplified web browsing
experience. In addition, Window-Eyes customers can now show their sighted
peers exactly where they are on a website by routing the mouse pointer to the
current web page element. Being able to route the mouse to any web page
element will also prove beneficial when a website has limited keyboard access
and requires the use of the mouse to click on various buttons or links.
Users of other popular screen readers will now be able to easily make the
switch to Window-Eyes and harness the power of version 8.0 thanks to the new
Insert Key keyboard layout. The Insert Key keyboard layout provides a familiar
and consistent set of keystrokes for users of other screen readers and helps
eliminate the learning curve for new users of Window-Eyes. Customers can
easily select the new Insert Key keyboard layout using the Quick Start Wizard,
which makes the setup process fast and simple.
Are you using Windows 8 or plan on purchasing a new computer soon? If so, then
Window-Eyes 8.0 is a tool that you need in your hands! Window-Eyes 8.0
supports Windows 8 and makes navigating the new Windows 8 Start screen
effortless with enhanced navigation support that beats the competition
hands-down.
Support for the JAVA Access Bridge has also been added in Window-Eyes 8
enabling a higher level of interaction with JAVA based programs and web
applications that properly implement accessibility.
If you are in the IT field or provide computer repair services, then you will
love the newly added support for Windows Safe Mode. You no longer need to
worry about Safe Mode being inaccessible with the power of Window-Eyes 8.0.
Additionally, Window-Eyes Mobile can now be used to access any computer without
the need for administrative rights. This means you can walk up to any
computer, insert your USB flash drive with Window-Eyes Mobile and gain
immediate speech access to the system.
Have you ever had a sighted friend or family member mute your computer’s volume
leading to you being stuck without speech? If so, this next feature of
Window-Eyes 8 is for you! Window-Eyes can now unmute your computer with the
press of a keystroke. With Window-Eyes 8.0, you will no longer need sighted
assistance to unmute the computer and bring back your speech!
Email messages are becoming more difficult to read with a screen reader because
many authors are now using both graphical content and complex formatting.
Window-Eyes 8.0 includes a number of email support enhancements in Microsoft
Outlook including message virtualization. Message virtualization allows
customers to quickly read complex HTML messages that formerly had to be opened
in a web browser. This makes reading any email in Outlook fast and accurate
without the need for additional steps.
The highly acclaimed Window-Eyes Remote Assistance utility now supports file
transfers and Windows clipboard functions between connected computers. Both of
these helpful new features make providing support and training with Window-Eyes
Remote Assistance even more powerful and interactive.
Last but not least, Window-Eyes 8.0 will also allow customers to use several
new human-sounding voices. Specifically, all new copies of Window-Eyes 8.0
purchased by US customers will automatically include the high-quality Vocalizer
US English voices (UK English voices are available instead of US English upon
request).
For our current US customers who are upgrading to Window-Eyes 8, all English
Vocalizer voices will be available for purchase at the discounted price of only
$39 until Friday, February 1, 2013. In addition to English, many other popular
languages such as Spanish, French and German are also available for purchase.
After February 1, the cost for additional Vocalizer languages will revert to
the normal price of $59. US customers also have the option of purchasing all
Vocalizer languages for $95. For customers outside the US, contact your local
GW Micro dealer for Vocalizer pricing and ordering information. Please note
that the Vocalizer voices sold by GW Micro are only compatible with Window-Eyes.
Order your copy of Window-Eyes 8.0 today to take advantage of all of these
innovative features and new Vocalizer voices! Customers in the US, please call
GW Micro at (260) 489-3671 or your local dealer to order Window-Eyes 8. If you
already own Window-Eyes and have registered your license with GW Micro, you can
order your upgrade to Window-Eyes 8 online at:
https://www.gwmicro.com/Catalog/Upgrades/. Non-US customers, please contact
your GW Micro dealer for ordering information and for updates on the
localization of Window-Eyes 8. To find a GW Micro dealer in your area, please
