"There is some truth in the idea that a windows upgrade may reduce

has improved over the years."
In which case, I would say that the problem should affect other
third-party software on previous versions of Windows, and not just
Window-Eyes. the fixes to which you refer concern the Window-Eyes
code, as a result of which the program offered markedly improved
performance on the same Windows version.

"read me" documents coinciding with releases of new versions of
window-eyes, comment is made that specific memory leaks have been fixed.
For me, window-eyes v8.4 running on a windows 8.1 platform is more
stable than window-eyes v8.4 running on windows 7, but the two
machines have numerous other differences, which makes it difficult
to conclude that there are memory management issues relating to
window-eyes. What I do know is that the basic housekeeping task of
a system restart is required more often with windows 7 than with
windows 8. Windows 7 was a monumental improvement over its predecessors.

Subject: Re: Serious memory leak when concerning Window eyes
Moreover, I am at a loss as to how a memory leak could be remedied
by simply upgrading to a newer version of Windows, (as suggested by
one of the posts). I am however not convinced that the problem
sited is due to a memory leak, that is to say, I have yet to see an
acknowledgement from GW Micro or better still the necessary evidence
from an independent party pointing to the presence of a memory leak.
