Hi Chris and Everyone,
I'm wondering if someone should create a list called Whiners! Maybe
these people would just go away, and we could concentrate on the
important and positive things about Window-Eyes and this SocialEyes
product, or even the kindness and other comments, if necessary.
Maybe these whiners could put "Whining" in their subject, so those of
us who are really interested in reading the important and positive
feedback and comments, could skip those whining messages.
I mean, really! The product isn't even released yet, no one has
seenit, the tutorial was excellent, and people are complaining! If
people don't want to use it, they don't have to.
I'm not against people stating their opinion, even if it is not for
the product, but people could be kind about it.
I personaly am looking forward to SocialEyes, and I think it is going
to be a great product!
The loving folks at GW Micro work very hard, and what is wrong with a
little yearly subscription if it's something we'll use?
I didn't take the survey. I guess I forgot about it.
Just don't include the loaf of milk and the gallon of bread. <grin> lol.
I hope that GW Micro will come out with other great Apps like this one.
I'm loving Window-Eyes and I know I'll be loving SocialEyes, as well.
Keep up the excellent work, GW Micro. <smile>

Hi folks
Let me jump in here and stress one very important thing. Just
because GW releases a program like Social-eyes, does not mean they
have completely dropped or have lessened development on
window-eyes. There are 2 teams that do programming for GW Micro.
One works on window-eyes, and the other one works on stuff like GW
connect, Social-eyes and other programs. and if you don't want it,
nobody is forcing you to buy it. It is just, that, simple.

Exactly. Just the other day I was wondering when the next release
of Window-eyes would be coming out addressing many bugs and known
instability issues that myself and others have been dealing with
for some time now. Instead I'm faced with yet another GW product
which I personally will never use. I'm happy for those who want to
use Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media sites, but is
this really a priority? There's even sites that haven't come out
yet that will probably replace Facebook in their popularity
(remember MySpace?).
Anyway, my point is, when so much time goes by with out an update
to your main Window-eyes product and then you announce this
Social-eyes app, is it any wonder that people are getting upset and frustrated?

At Tom: The reason for the complaints is that many of us had
higher expectations of GW Micro than what we have here. Simply
being silent doesn't effectively convey anything to the company;
it only relieves you of the burden of having to hear the
complaints. Window Eyes has gone up in price and down in
stability and user-friendliness. GW has done a lot of good
things, but they are slipping, and I for one, am disappointed that
they focused any effort at all into something as ridiculous as
social media, especially when accessibility is pretty good through
the mobile side of the Facebook website, rather than use that
effort to improve the Window Eyes software. And at Solomon,
you're kidding, right? A company has no obligation to meet the
needs of its customer base? What enormous rock do you have your
head under? That is precisely the business any company is in if
the goal is to try to make money. Of course that is their end
goal? I'm also very disappointed with GW that they'd go to the
trouble to get everyone all revved up about this when there's
really nothing to get all that excited about. And as to taking or
leaving it, do you not remember the uproar over the worst of the
operating systems put out by Microsoft such as Windows Millennium
or Windows 8? Do you honestly think Microsoft would have made the
effort to improve on Windows ME to get to XP if all their
customers just kept their mouths shut? Sorry, but many of you
seam to think that because GW makes software that we depend on
that they are above all criticism or reproach. Well, when I'm
paying nearly $1,000 for the software and $175 plus for each
upgrade, you bet I'm within my rights to complain when they don't
deliver. The rest of you can blindly worship at the alter if you
like, but I'll have no part of it. And trust me, when they have,
and hopefully some day will, really improve their Window Eyes
software and it really is better than what's out now, I will be
one of the first to tell them how much I appreciate it. Jon
