I was talking to somebody about the government only buying jaws, and she
apparently looked up on a site to find out what the government would be able
to purchase. Window eyes was listed on there, too. I don't remember what
they call that contract, but even though they purchased jaws, they also had
window eyes on there. My husband was trying to get them to buy window eyes,
but they wouldn't. They said they didn't have a government contract. It
turned out not to be true. They just didn't want to do it for whatever
reason. Pam.

Hi Guys. I know that some of you guys are upset about this but here is my
thoughts on this. As we all know, Window-Eyes has been denied its
opertunity in mainstreme blind related computer programs, meaning that in
the days of GWMicro, no agency would fund Window-Eyes even though it had a
price tag similar to JAWS. As for NVDA, it's a great product as far as it
goes. However, there are business's and employment that I have come across
who don't like OpenSource. The reason is that they fear that OpenSource
solutions can affect their computers with virus's, spyware, etc. Thirdly, it
allows Window-Eyes to become embraced in schools, colleges, universities,
etc as for years it hasn't had a chance to become accepted in schools in the
US or in Canada. Also, there are also JAWS scripts that could easally be
modified to work with Window-Eyes. These include CakeTalking from Dancing
Dots, which I personally use in my recording studio to record music, as well
as the lime notation product to notate scores. All of these packages that I
use are essential for my work as a musician.
