I did see the following on another list: From: Cristóbal <[email protected]> I saw the WE thing over the weekend on a quick posting at some technology expo in Germany. If I recall and as others have mentioned it's tied into stand alone Office no longer being supported by MS which if I remember, is going to end in 2020. Bummer for WindowEyes folks who have invested the time to learn the application and money, but you know it was going to happen as soon as VFO acquired it. Doom and gloom aside, You're still talking nearly three years out which for technology is a lifetime. SO it's not an immediate concern I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Skarstad via Talk Sent: Tuesday, May 9, 2017 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Until VFO says so, Window-eyes is not dead. If you're trying to get people to stop using Window-eyes, you're probably in for a pretty good fight there. and there has been no official announcement that Window-eyes is indeed dead. people will still use it no matter what you say.
