Just a short reminder, when you talk about update releases.
I really had to check my archives here, but sure enough. Since the merge was announced, back in the spring or early summer, we have had TWO updates to Window-Eyes released. The first one, was in july, the latest in september. How much more often could we possible want? Smile. Not saying this to argue anything, but even for GW, this release rate eats the cake. Whatever caused them to release that shortly one after the other, I do not know, neither do I want to speculate. Just thought to keep you reminded.
