Hi Sabahattin, The reason for all the joy surrounding this is not so much that vfo is a great company and the move is going to lead to better products and services. By not so much, of course I mean not at all. No, the reason to celebrate is that all of the smart players in the commercial AT industry are getting out. First code factory, then GW micro. Now AISquared. I really wish the AISquared group had been baught by humanware just so that we could have some composition, but that would prolong the agony. Clearly, vfo has a 5 or 10 year plan to exit the screen reader market altogether. Either that or they just enjoy squandering money. Either way, this is one more nail in the coffin for commercial screen readers. That's where the rejoicing stems from.
