Hi Vaughn. When the office deal came out, remember, they have two
versions
of Window-Eyes that you can get. The free version, with office, and the
paid for version which would give you the tech support.

I feel that the key point as this relates to Window-eyes is missed:
if you
don't pay - you can presume to not get. The Window-Eyes for Office
deal has
meant that there is no cash to fix long standing problems or to
develop new
features.
People who make a business choice to develop tools which make our lives
better do also have to live. Although I will always remain unhappy with
current developments, the software engineers who continue to develop
screen
readers are tradable - they can sell their skills to someone else.
I do believe that the virtual monopoly on screen readers especially for
those who are employed is a bad thng. But - it is what we have, and it
might be that there is now a huge barrier which prevents others from
offering choice to consumers.
Tough as it is: we have to make spending choices, and certainly, if
financial assistance is there - take it. But: someone produces and
sells,
someone else buys and consumes.
Vaughan.

Tony, I could not agree more! It seems to me that blind folks are
pretty
happy being ripped off. Petitions fall on deaf ears, elements of
deceitful
dishonesty beat down like hurricanes and tornados, and stun guns are
always
at the ready to fire and knock the blind out!
If the goings-on had happened in the mainstream, antitrust law would
have
been cited and everything would have gone under quietly. With
impunity and
flagrant disregard, the blind continue to borrow the phrase from Animal
Farm: "Four legs good, two legs bad!" Milk on Freedom Scientific, V
F O
Group, AI Square, ... Did I miss any?
Hmm, anyone knows what's holding the U.S. Treasury back from
complying with
the court order by making the dollar bill more accessible? The junk
noteteller they choose to hand me is utterly worthless and useless
especially in a business environment where I have more prying eyes
watching.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
