Listen guys and Gals!
Let cool minds prevail.
The business aspect of the deal should not concern the consumer
unless we can show a verifiable disadvantage to the user.
However, there are a few relevant questions that should be answered:
1. How about all prepaid and yet unused SMA privileges?
2. Does the partnership mean software integration, or, does
WindowEyes maintain its independence?
3. If integration, would the integration of WindowEyes with
Microsoft cause WindowEyes to suffer from the vulnerabilities of
Microsoft Office products? Is GWMicro still committed to assuring the
stability of WindowEyes we have enjoyed so far?
4. Does the consumer continue to receive tech-support from
GWMicro or will Microsoft provide tech-support?
5. If the latter, Does Microsoft have enough tech-support staff
who are familiar with, not only the technical details of WindowEyes,
but also and more importantly the peculiar nature of the needs of the
clientele of GWMicro and similar vendors or providers?
6. Do we still have the option of procuring WindowEyes without
necessarily associating ourselves with Microsoft Office products?
Please let us discuss and seek answers for important questions like
these instead of trying to meddle in the business of two independent
and legal entities.
Don't forget, if we don't like it, we don't have to get it.
Solomon.
