hi list.
I'm not a user of bookshare because i don't live in the US.
Here's something for you to think about:
Perhaps hw have been waiting for this issue to come up so that
they can include the update in ks8,0. This could explain why hw
are taking so long to release ks8,0 and could also explain why
they have been forced to keep quiet about why ks8,0 is late.
Now you maybe wondering: "Why did hw put fall 2008 on the website
as the scheduled release date?" Well, perhaps hw weren't
originally aware of the changes when they first published the
date on the website. They should really remove that date from
the website (if it hasn't been removed already).
This could also be a problem for bn classic users. Ks7,5 was the
last release for the classic. I heard a braillenote chat podcast
and they were discussing a possible patch for the classic to do
with word document support. But it didn't look like hw were
planning on or going to release a patch for that. Which means
that they are not very likely to release another patch to fix the
bookshare problem.
Hw has been forced to release ks7,5 at least 4 times due to the
number of bugs. They are not likely to release another one so
close to the expected release of ks8,0. they would rather wait
and include any update in ks8,0.
This is just my thoughts. What do you think?
Thanks.
