I have said it before I don't know why Microsoft didn't just purchase
Window Eyes and incorporate it into windows. GW had to have been in
serious finical trouble for letting AISquared purchase them when in fact
AIsquared must have been in trouble themselves for VFO having the
ability to purchase them. I just have to think that Doug has to be
feeling really bad for how Window Eyes is going from the best screen
reader to the non existing one.

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.
