I do not think Brian would have had anything to do with the demise of
Window-eyes.
There is no single reason for Window-eyes coming out of the active
screen reader market.
Contributing factors were: poor sales; Freedom Scientific market
dominance; growth in demand for NVDA - probably lots of other reasons as
well.
I won't be buying Brian's tutorial, but he is very knowledgebable and
will have produced this to broadcast standard.

I agree. I think people areacting because they are mad about the fate
of Window-Eyes, not just the cost of the tutorial. Furthermore, we
don't have any proof that Mr. Hartgen had anything to do with the
demise of Window-Eyes. While I am not familiar with his tutorials, I
have purchased others in the past. I admit, some I have found very
helpful and others not so much. While I don't intend to purchase one
at this time, I think the tutorial should be evaluated on its own merits.

I really don't understand people's annoyance at having to purchase a
tutorial. There is free material already available, which they can
use, but
why shouldn't someone be recompensed for their time and effort in
creating a
tutorial. When I purchased my Iphone, I didn't think twice about
purchasing
Anna Dresner's tutorial and it was money really worth spending.
In the past I have used some of Brian Hartgen's tutorials and they were
always of a high standard.
There is free learning materials available for those who don't want to
splash out extra money but they really can't expect people to
undertake such
a big piece of work and receive no reward.
