and to add one more item to consider to Tom's great answer; you never know how much of Microsoft's development of any product is directly due to feedback from GW of the sort which says "hey, this isn't working, you need to do A, and B, and C ...", and then they go and do it in the next release. IE9 will eventually work well with WE, and my guess is that feedback from GW "helping" microsoft will be one of the reasons.

Microsoft has a thousand programmers continually changing things. And even if they're willing to work closely with GW on what's going on GW doesn't have a thousand programmers to stay on par with everything Microsoft is continually changing; not to mention all the other companies they have to work with and programs they have to try to keep Window-Eyes working with. It's amazing that they're able to do as well as they do given what they have to deal with in a continually changing environment.
