Ok I am lost. How is my below message an attack on anyone? What is the exchange of money for a servus now a bad thing. Was I sapozed to say good work gw micro for donating window-eyes to Microsoft. What do you people think doug and dan are fools. Nope they are here to make money. Everything they do is focused on making money. You need money to make better products and to feed the wife and kids. This was a very smart move on gw micros part to license window-eyes to Microsoft for office users. You make money from such licenses. For example nuance makes money from gw micro when copys of window-eyes are sold with the window-eyes software. The same thing is going on here. My guess is it was probably paid in a lece system meaning we will give you x amount of money for x time for use of your software it was probably a nice chunk of change. Wether or not it is none of our concern. I said as much. Then told them to enjoy the froots of there labors. Oh enjoying the froots of ones labors is now a bad thing. So explain to me Amanda exactly what in the world you are talking about here. I have nothing but respect for gw micro. It was a good move. I am a Microsoft fan boy unashamed and any move buy Microsoft to make my preferred operating system better is a day of rejoicing for me. Once again explain exactly what you are talking about.

It is an unnecessary attack on the only screen reader company who really cares about consumers. Who cares what the payout is. The awesome takeaway is that window-Eyes prevails and that works nicely for myself and many many loyal and grateful users. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby JR." <[email protected]> To: "'Solomon Mekonnen'" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 6:40 PM Subject: RE: GW Micro and Microsoft Partnership > Yes I agree.
