I think perhaps JAWS could be put into the class of "Productivity ware" much in the same way as Window-Eyes could be with its scripts, apps or whatever they're called these days.
Personally? Well I don't particularly like Freedom Scientific today or on any other day <smile> but if the company does what the clients ask then no one can argue with that. I'm a Windows user and as far as I'm concerned? Well we're in the middle of an accessibility revolution of sorts as we're now able to use products free of charge which give us smooth, functional and stable access to software and products which we could only dream of having and these people need the support of blind people in order that the ball keeps rolling.
