I'm sorry for missing your point, and it is true that you don't have to be
limited to one screen reader, but I meant that it is not GW who is cutting
cost because they don't want to tackle this problem but instead they want us
to save money when they figure it out, I don't understand why some people
want the fix now when it will only be a temp fix because things are going to
be moving in different ways with HTML 5. lets say they came out with
window-eyes 8 with the browser fixes today, tomorrow there is a change in
HTML 5, so now they have to go back and change everything again. now
window-eyes 8 stops working again until GW micro fixes it . we wait and
window-eyes 8.1 comes out some months later. it works for a while and once
again HTML 5 is changed again. the same cycle over and over. now if GW waits
until HTML 5 is set in stone or at least the basics are, they can come out
with window-eyes 8 and we will not have to go threw upgrade after upgrade. I
have a feeling that we would have to wait the same amount of time because of
the development of html 5 and not GW micro. The staff of GW are not people
who can predict what is coming next. they have to wait and see if it is
going to stay and then they start working on it. this is just my opinion.

You are totally missing my point. One doesn't have to say good-bye to one
screen reader to use another.
One doesn't necessarily have to look for another choice. But what I am
saying is that one has to be open to alternatives if they happen to be
there.
That's all. And, more germane to this thread: a merchant takes a chance
if they forego improvements to an existing product
thinking that they can save costs by not working on certain issues.
If no one else fills that niche; they can; but if someone else does, then
take the chance that users will explore alternatives.
From GWMicro's standpoint, I am certan that they have weighed the pluses
and minuses in what they are doing.
But as a user, I am not bound just to wait around for something they may
or may not manifest itself.
And the nice thing with screen readers, you don't necessarily have to
limit oneself to just one.
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.
