Sorry, that wasn't meant for the list, please ignore it. It was meant

Hello John,
I have been drafting a letter to VFO because, as you know, there is
speculation that Window-Eyes is going to be phased out. If it is, I
am not switching to Jaws, because I won't be able to afford it,
amongst other reasons. However, in my letter, I have pointed out that
if Window-Eyes goes, it provides a significant problem for blind
people wanting to get into work, as not everyone has an access to work
fund. Moreover, one of the few ways we can work, especially for
younger people, is volunteering, and there, we may be in a crisis, as
IT technicians are paranoid about NVDA, since it is open source, and
they think it could contain a virus or compromise security in another
way. We would be in limbo, as they won't want NVDA, and they won't
pay for Jaws, as Access to Work won't pay for equipment for unpaid
work, so you would have to buy a license for every computer you use
out of your own pocket. What do you think? Also, I have heard that
they are developing both Magic and ZoomText. How come they are doing
that, but phasing out Window-Eyes? To me, this is a case of double
standards.
