Hi Vaughn. Blindness organisations such as CNIB, rnib, etc had Window-Eyes on their computers but they promoted JAWS above Window-Eyes because JAWS brought them more profit. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Vaughan Dodd via Talk Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2017 12:38 PM To: Tom Fairhurst via Talk Subject: Re: Announcement: Brian Hartgen Training Course, Over Easy:The Switch from window-Eyes to JAWS!

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. Vaughan. On 5/31/2017 2:43 AM, Tom Fairhurst via Talk wrote: > I agree.
