As much as I have been unhappy with both windows and fs, all of these things could be addressed in some way. If jaws were to move to a different group of developers and get them an overhaul which updated scripting to something more object oriented etc, then those who use windows, by choice, or by nature of occupation would have two good competative screen readers to keep eachother honest. Although this doesn't exist in apple land, they are always running to catch windows, so perhaps this balances out.
Will I re-addopt windblows? Not unless it is necessary, but if such a time should come, I want some options in that arena. It may be time to address at least the business model for these things, as is appropriate from time to time in a market that despite the rate of change, does evolve.
