My problem with NVDA is, I can't use my tripletalk with it. I wished that
NVDA had a Window Eyes keyboard layout.

Have been a WE user since version 1.1 if my memory serves me correctly.
Seeing the writing on the wall I have began the process of learning NVDA
and I am finding it very useable. I think that GW sold us out a long
time ago and the only direction WE will now go is down. So sorry to
think and say that as I have always felt that WE was the best scren
reader out there. I guess nothing lasts forever in todays world.

I have made that decision with respect to personal computing.
Hauled out my MacBook purchased over a year ago last weekend. Got sighted
assistance to crank into proper life. And made real progress with
VoiceOver. A long way to go, but I plan to buy the book from Mosen
Consulting on learning to use Pages. Already using Mail and plan to play
with Safari very soon. Ok: Apple's customer service isn't great either,
(apart from sales), but accessibility is better than the VFO and Microsoft
combination, and for me it is a point of principle now.
Maybe I'm unreasonable. When Humanware shifted out of New Zealand (where
I live) I decided never to buy another Humanware product. And - I've
stuck to that position for almost 10 years. I did understand Humanware's
business decision, which of itself, made perfect sense. As things
stand - I don't plan to buy another VFO product. My money is worth
something, and given the abysmal customer relations we are seeing, VFO and
I fundamentally disagree on how much my customer patronage should be
valued.
Although we on this list have these discussions based on an event such as
the departure of respected virtual friend, staff turnover is natural and
healthy. Staff turnover is not for me the central point. My concern is
the arrogant disregard from Corporate VFO when loyal customers start by
asking reasonable questions, based on reasonable concerns.
We should probably conclude that the list is not being monitored by senior
VFO Executives. I do not expect staff to try and defend the behaviours of
the senior executive. I expect Vice Presidents and above to lead
accountability to their customers.
VFO is a multi-national, multi-million dollar corporate, receiving
Government contracts in numerous countries. So: if people can make
informed choices regarding alternatives to what they currently have, vote
with feet, dollars, word of mouth advertising and everything else that is
available.

Tell you what - if we're forced to by Shark, I may just forget about
Windows machines as much as I can. Being forced into a screenreader and
culture I don't like is like having our new president-elect take officve.
I like neither of them. Just my thoughts.--Matthew Chao

I wrote an e-mail to [email protected] asking about this. Perhaps if
enough people did the same, they might feel it appropriate to give
some kind of info about this. It's worth a shot. What's the worst they
could do in response?

You know I feel this as well; The thing is that Since Asquared bought
out GWMicro the software has not gotten any better; the tech support
has gotten lax in what they do; and lets face it the main
contributers for the Window eyes screen reader have all but gone.
So Yes I do agree the writing is on the wall for window eyes.

After having striven mightily to help me with a Sonar problem, my
last mail to Steve Clower got an automated reply, indicating that
he has left A I Squared. This was a bit sudden wasn't it?
If you have any support matters pending with Steve, you might want
to make sure that they are still in the works.
