Yup. Totally agree with you. It was painful indeed and your right we can't change the fast but we can hope for the future. Even JAWS is on the way out because it too is a legacy product and there is nothing new or interesting in it that interests me. -Original Message- From: Talk

I wonder if W-E would have just been absorbed sooner had Microsoft bought them years ago. I can’t see Microsoft letting W-E be a standalone program. Maybe GW micro knew this and did not want to lose control of the program to Microsoft. The whole thing was very painful but maybe in the long run

Oh yes. Your right about that. Microsoft should have bought Window-Eyes then none of the mergers would have happened, Window-Eyes would have been the top screen reader in the world, JAWS would have dropped considerably, and we wouldn't have been in this situation with Vispero discontinuing it.

Sky, perhaps I am terribly selfish, stupid, and a fool to boot; Microsoft should have bought Window-Eyes for integration into Windows. If it had, it would have had a TALKING INSTALLER more than 25 years ago and would not need to reinvent the wheels. I'm always dreaming, I just hope I don't fall

Yup. Although MS didn't buy WE to put into the OS, it got the GW Micro employees. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Brenda via Talk Sent: Saturday, July 06, 2019 5:25 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List Cc: Brenda Subject:

I know this is a long shot as I doubt that anyone is creating Window-eyes scripts; however, just in case, I wish someone would write a script for the Revo uninstaller program.  Previous versions worked with screen readers; however, the current version which I believe is 2.1 point something

I have no idea why you'd get such a notification. About the only thing you can do is open the Window-Eyes control panel, Alt+F File, arrow up twice to Update outdated settings, and press enter. Otherwise, perhaps someone has a clean collection of all the latest set files. Good luck, Tom On
