I'm usually able to grasp why Companies do what they do, but I've never understood, from a Fiscal point of view, why GW Micro chose to give a Free copy of Window Eyes to any Registered MS Office user.
Perhaps they had a deal with Microsoft to receive a "Royalty" of some kind for every person who took them up on the offer? If this were true, GW Micro must have been suffering some rough financial times, because for every person taking advantage of the offer, would drain the number of possible full paying customers. Maybe they were taking a Gamble and thought because Window Eyes would be Free for MS Office owners, just maybe some Government agencies would start steering clients towards Window Eyes, instead of paying $1100 for JAWS? I don't know. Never been able to make sense of it. -- Perhaps some of you out there might have some other thoughts on why there was a Free version for MS Office users.
