Brian: firstly - I'm reinforcing the points which others have made. This
is not a scam, and Doug and Aaron continue to lead support for
Window-eyes at VFO.
Now for the list.
I agreed with VFO (verbally) that I would not discuss this until VFO
released its official announcement.
I was not coerced into any such agreement, and for the events i'm about
to describe - I was not paid.
Some of you may remember that my third attempt at contactingt VFO was
shared with the list. I asked for my email to go to a senior person -
Chief Executive or similar.
Now: way back when, as early as July or August, staffers at VFO
encouraged us to write to VFO expressing our concerns, raising
suggestions etc. How many did that? And unlike me - how many of you
were persistent?
Several days after sending my third email mentioned above, I received
constructive email feedback from Eric Damery, anbd we skyped for about
45 minutes so that VFO could be assured that I would accept its offer.
I was pleased to contribute to the latest FS Cast, in which this offer
is discussed, and i've commented on my early experiences with JAWS. A
list member took the time to thank me for taking a stand.
Brian and others: if you want to believe this is a scam - it is your
right to do so. However: you cannot get away with calling people
liars. In fact: I am satisfied that Doug fought the good fight on behalf
of long serving Window-Eyes customers. He at least should be respected
for doing so. Doug and Aaron seem likely to be continuing to work in
this industry.
Taking up the offer is voluntary and in the short term, if you meet its
conditions, JFW won't cost you a thing.

I'm not altogether optimistic about the future of Window-Eyes, but at
the same time I'm not going to stop using it unless I absolutely have
to. As for this supposed offer of free copies of JFW for WE users I'm
pretty sure it's a scam. I have a hard time imagining FS giving anyone
free copies of JAWS under any circumstances. As for which screen
reader I might switch to it probably wouldn't be JAWS, partly because
I can't seem to download a demo of the latest version to try before I
buy, but also because it's an absolute resource hog. I remember that
from the twelve years I used it before switching to WE.
Focus your powers and prepare for buttle.

I'm not planning on switching to Jaws any time soon! We works better
and takes less overhead! And, I like the Butch timer app too!

I plan to keep using window-eyes as long as it works. They're not
going to make it diappear. If it gets to a point where I must switch
to something else, I'll go with n v d a. I suspect window-eyes will
do much of what I need it to do for some time even if they stop
selling and developping it.
