Well, if I'm forced to use NVDA, I'll have to scrap my tripletalk usb. It
can't be used with it.

Well I don't like change when it comes to my technology but knowing that
WE has no long term future I have began the process of learning to use
NVDA. I must say I am very impressed with NVDA and am finding in many
cases that NVDA works better than WE. I do have two SMA's left and it
will be interesting if they are honored in some way. I would think a
cash refund would be in order but having delt with FS in the past know
it won't be handled in a way that benefits the user.

Well said, Grumpy Dave. I'm disappointed, but if a business can't make it,
they do what they can. I unfortunately think I paid for an SMA and
haven't used it up, so I'm hoping VFO will give me some sort of credit for
that if I'm told to switch. I've never used JAWS and only played with
NVDA a tad. I don't like transition, so I hope we can support each other
as users for as long as possible.

I don't think GW Micro sold its Customer's out.
Cash Flow has been a problem for a while, and GW Micro started to sell
future Upgrades to make up for the low Cash Flow. JAWS does this, and
I forget what they are called. SMA's?
Anyway, when you sell future upgrades at a discount, chances are that
money is going to pay today's Pay roll and Expenses, and when Tommorow
comes, well when tomorrow comes, and cash is still short, you start making
Crazy Deals with the Devil.
Allowing a Free version to anyone owning a copy of MS Office was a
questionable choice for GW Micro to do. Perhaps they received a token
Royalty from Microsoft for every Free Copy Registered. Hard to know,
since no one is telling why that deal with Microsoft was done, and what
GW Micro hoped to gain from it. Money of course, but how?
I enjoyed dealing with the original cast of Characters at GW Micro.
Good Mid-west values and I think they gave award winning effort when
producing their Screen Reader, and then supporting it after the sale.
I doubt if GW Micro sold us out. But, when a Company doesn't have the
cash to hire more talent to keep up with the latest Operating System, as
well as everything else GW Micro was doing.
Hard to really know what the Newest Parent Company intends. This is one
of the problems when getting swallowed by a larger fish, which then
gets swallowed by even a larger fish. Communication is bad enough even
within a small Company like GW Micro, but add a couple of extra layers and
it's a wonder that anything good gets out the door, or even done!
Customers? What Customers? We have Customers?
