Hello everybody Firstly, has anybody tried Window-Eyes version 8.0? I ask because each time we run that screen-reader under Windows 7 64-bit, we get a prompt to upgrade. That said, when I go to the website with the intentions of buying the upgrade, I am pointed to the international "Find a dealer" page. So it would appear that GW Micro is still persisting with the totally discriminatory policy of not permitting non-US customers who, it would seem, do not matter to GW Micro, to purchase online as it is possible for US based customers to do.
Also, I note that the price has been raised from $175.00 to $199.00 US Dollars for the upgrade. I wonder how GW Micro can possibly get away with that when many of their customers are drifting away in favour of the fee and, I am given to understand, now very useable NVDA which seems to function with most applications. There is one reason and one reason only that we considered upgrading Window-Eyes. Version 7.x and below are not compatible with Windows 8 which we have already bought an upgrade key for, and which we would quite like to install when all of our apps become compatible. I am not sure, and doubtless there will be somebody on list who can reassure me one way or the other here, whether NVDA is compatible with Windows 8 yet. I'm sure I could find out on their website. In any event, I very much welcome your comment regarding any aspect of this unfortunately waffly post.
