Dear Joseph,
thank you for your thoughtful and perceptive comments. Those of us who
are being kept in the dark have a right to feel frustrated and, maybe
angry, but we are just going to have to wait and see. I would suggest
that, for the sake of our mental health, we try to calm down until such
time as we have something constructive that we can do to improve
whatever situation we find ourselves in.
Best regards,
Robert Grimwood

Hi:
One thing I can gather from this is that the folks handling JAWS do not have
much information either.
Right now, it does not matter to the folks selling JAWS that any of us have
WE licenses.
All it means is that the folks selling JAWS have not been told anything
about some kind of special deal for WE users who might be asking about using
JAWS in future.
Right now, if you wish to purchase a license for JAWS, you will have to pay
the full price, or get the student edition of JAWS through APH.
Best thing, right now, is to enjoy using your copy of WE. Unless MS breaks
something really crucial under the hood, I suspect WE will work with the
next build of Windows 10. I have not yet received this new Insider preview,
but, it may take a while, since I just turned on Insider preview builds.
If I have any major issues, I'll report them.
Again, this is more of a case of "hurry up and wait." Than anything else.
We would all like some answers, and, we may, or may not like those we get.
But, as someone already stated before, there very well may be legal reasons
why nothing has been revealed.
This is common in corporate takeovers and/or mergers.
And, while your concerns are real enough, the folks that have long been
handling support and sales of WE may be facing life-changing things that
make our situation seem easy. Many of those folks have been loyally
supporting WE for quite a few years. How are their lives being affected?
Have they been called into a conference room and told they need to look for
other employment? Are they still there, having been told to say nothing,
each wondering about their job security, or lack of it? Or, since the
phones are already forwarded away from Fort Wayne, what does this mean for
them?
There are so many questions. We are on the outside, but, I guarantee you,
life on the inside, for some, may not be rosy at all.
