Re: is window-eyes going away?

[Butch Bussen via Talk]

You are right, no one knows, well maybe the shadow knows.  As long as 
microsoft makes it available free with office, that is a plus.  However, a 
couple thoughts.  Here we have a company that now has two screen readers. 
Reader w is less expensive, and at least in the u.s., not copy protected. 
It also uses a different scripting language.  Reader j costs more, and is 
copy protected and restricted on how many installs you can do.  Reader j 
also has a much larger part of the market.  Can you think of a logical 
reason they would continue to develop both products which do the same 
thing?  Hopefully, they'll care enough to take some of the best features 
of reader w and include in their own, reader j.  If they discontinue one, 
which do you think it will be?  Speculation, perhaps, also I think 
logical.  All I can tell you is, I won't bother with jaws.
