I also am a WE fan. Having just received my SN for jaws I am not happy! 1, I asked for 6 keys and only received 3 2, no native RDP [remote desktop support] $250.00 extra. I only am taking the offer as it is at no charge and it is required for work reasons. I will keep using WE for as long as I can and support the people who are still working on the various WE apps. Cheers IC

I will admit that some of my coworkers were under that impression at first, but I let them know, and showed them if necessary, that that was not the case. It may very well be that your experience with the vendors that you have dealt with tells a different story, I wouldn't be at all surprised, but I know that not all vendors did that. In fact, when I wanted to upgrade to Windows 9 and get an SMA, my coworker suggested that it would be cheaper to upgrade Microsoft Office to the latest version and then download the free version of Window-eyes.
