Do we have any close idea yet when Windows 8 is probably going to be
released? Are we talking mid 2012 or later?

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.

It's very simple. 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.

GW Micro often claim they work closely with companies such as
Microsoft and Mozilla but I often wonder if this arrangement is quite
one sided because it does notn show up in practice.
For example, IE 9 was released but it is still not very accessible
using the latest version of WE. Mozilla's latest versions of
Thunderbird and Firefox are in the same boat.
So, where is the co-operation?
