The podcast I heard on Main menu indicated that Window-eyes will be around for the forseeable future. If any updates have to be made, i'm sure they'll make them available. Many people have indicated that this is the case, yet these rumors and speculation that it's dying continues. People like to have stuff to complain about so they invent problems that don't exist.
