I think Tom's got it 100% correct. Sure, people are pissed about this and I can respect that. But sending hundreds of emails isn't going to change anything.

It's not as if the parties involved are gonna go well gosh, so and so on the email lists think this is a really bad idea. Lets

not do this. These guys gotta make money and keep the lights on and food on the table. Obviously these guys have to join forces or nothing's gonna get done.

Darrell,

With all due respect, what is sitting there all day bombarding this list with rants going to accomplish? Go out into the woods, scream, and uproot a redwood to burn off your fury. There's nothing we can do about this decision. It's a done deal. And speculating is a waste of time because only time will tell.

Regards,
Tom

I am not one, but also funny for the users of magnifiers. I mean, Zoomtext and Magic both big names, now will innovation become less because only one magnifier? We still have small companies competing, brave NVDA, Dolphin and
System Access. I wonder if any other hardware will come out to challenge
Hims and Humanware, since Pac Mate was dead failure.

you already know what is going to happen.
virtually all schools,businesses use jaws. not window eyes.
when all the dust settles jaws will be the only screen reader choice.
you will pay there price or do without.
it won't be profitable for one company to support two screen readers.
look at what many companies have done. they usually look for companies
that are in trouble, buy them out for pennies on the dollar. then put
them out of business. to aquire there buildings and land.

Well now, remember guys this is assistive tech. Lack of cash flow will
make big deals look interesting.  Obviously GW Micro/AI Squared
couldn't get things done on their own. I hope this won't ruin the
quality of the products.  Remember, folks, free alternatives are out
there, and

they aren't half bad either.  Choices, folks, choices...

Why are they jumping in Bed with the enemy?

Well, they may not be jumping in bed  But as with so many things
these days, it may have something to do with money.  usually lack of
it.

Wonder if Window Eyes owners will be given a chance to upgrade to
Jaws, without having to pay full price.

I was sorry to see GW Micro get bought by A I Squared, and now if A I
Squared has been absorbed, this might become very interesting,
Interesting in a not so good way.

I have never been impressed with the quality of JAWS or their Tech
Support.


Guess we will all see in time.
