I suspect certain people at VFO feel the exact same way
about Window-eyes.
Unfortunately, Window-eyes has always been kind of seen as the underdog,
whereas JAWS is the more popular option. The most popular doesn't
always mean better, but when you're dealing with money, that's what
happens. So unfortunately, it's looking more and more like JAWS
will win. I hope I am wrong.
