My opinion is this:
1. Support is for office 2003 in busyness, but not for XP.
2. Why I must stay in one laptop in XP is, that Alva didn't release drivers
and for my braille display, which costed before 7 years about 5000 USD,
what wasn't cheap isn't any drivers which should work with jaws or
windoweyes. If I hat programming more experience, I should create drivers,
but..

Subject: Re: xp support for next version of window-eyes
Besides, from what I read at one web article, it seems Microsoft still
supports XP for business - if they just pay enough. Cannot confirm
anything further, but it was claimed that there apparently exists some
kind of rather expensive contract, under which Microsoft would still
release patches and updates for XP. The article even gave some further
details on the matter, but I do not have the link for it. Recently,
though, Microsoft released an update to their Internet Explorer, which
even was released for the version 8, and that is definitely under XP as
well. To me, it somehow seems that MS stopped supporting XP for the
mainstream public, but so many users still lingers with that OS, that
ending support for it in the screen reader would seem a pity. Yet,
sooner or later the amount of users of XP will fade, and sometime in the
future the screen reader manufacturers may drop their support for it.
Just keep in mind, ended support does not always mean ended
functionality. Even if a manufacturer does not support the OS any
longer, his software may well work under that OS for a long time yet. To
what extent GW decides to block anyone from the usage of the next
version of Window-Eyes under XP, hence remains the actual question - far
as I can discern.
