Well, Aaron,
according to the budget example mentioned, buying an Office, paying
you support and even wanting some extra voices, I would end up with
little as 350 dollars or so. Now, if I am correct, the paid-for
version of WE is something like 800 dollars. What am I missing in
the 350 dollar go? If nothing, what then would call for anyone to
pay you the 800 dollars? Something is missing in your small print.
:)
BTW, please will you in the future make sure of proper translations.
Your website did come up in a "Translated" version, in my locale
language. Yet, the translated version looked as if you had been
sponsoring Google's translator. It is simply not good enough, and
specially when it comes to the legal stuff in the FAQ. Had it not
been due to me being used to bad translations from electronic
suppliers, I would have a very hard time in understanding any of the
answers. Just to give you one example of the badness, it was talking
about the Eloquence synthesizer. It had translated it into the
"well-spoken synthesizer". A user that would not exactly have known
that the word eloquence means something like well-spoken, would
never be able to know what synthesizer you were talking about in the
translated version. Whatever service you have called for when comes
to the translation, have it turned off in the future, and get real
people who know what they are doing and talking about, perform your
documents. Not even for a freeware product, this translation thing
was anything good enough. Sorry, but that is the facts. :)

partnership:
I'm not trying to say, "Don't give us money," but you don't have
to purchase support or additional synthesizers. If you're
technical enough to solve your own problems, and are fine with the
MS or eSpeak voices, you don't pay anything for Window-Eyes
itself.

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
