Sky,
What happened with Window-Eyes has nothing to do with who was the
front runner. GW merged with AI and had done an enormous amount of
work to integrate Window-Eyes with ZoomText to make transitioning from
the magnifier to a screen reader easier. Then FS walked in and offered
a pile of cash for the company. Those at the top fought it fiercely.
But the board saw dollar signs and said yes.
So, FS does own the code. They have no interest in it. And it will
never see the light of day. First, their egos won't let them show that
Window-Eyes features could make JAWS a better screen reader. And the
way the two screen readers are built is very different. The JAWS
program is just the critical core elements and it depends heavily on
scripts for every day functionality. Window-Eyes is the opposite;
scripts are a convenient method to tweak things.
Two Window-Eyes developers are running the show at Microsoft for
Narrator. So I'm hoping one day it will be a great screen reader. If
it gets scripting it will certainly be a game changer.
Regards,
Tom

Glad the whole WE community is doing all it can to keep Window-Eyes
alive.
I
was thinking about it today and what it would had been like if it
had been
the front runner. Maybe somebody will hopefully pick up the actual
source
code for it and continue development. Does FS now own the source
code? If
so
then why not put more features from WE into JAWS? Maybe they don't have
the
whole code. Something to think about.
