When Vince McMahon purchased world championship wrestling, he now lets their 
showers be played on demand on the WWE network, but there are no more W CW 
shows. I'm sure that current versions of Window-Eyes, will still be allowed to 
be used, but it does not sound like they will continue to update it, because, 
Freedom Scientific is the number one source in town, and so there is no need 
for them to push another screen reader, especially if it is their competition.
