What is required is for VFO to say something.

Whilst I respect those who ask us to stop the speculation, they appear to be 
missing the evidence.


For example: if a product is basically free, and given that this free 
product's code is still protected - will there be on-going development or 
will the code be released into the public domain?


Given that there are numerous bugs some of which are long standing - will 
those bugs get replaced by other bugs as a new version is released?


Why would anyone - including myself - continue to purchase Window-eyes beynd 
Software Maintenance agreements, which at this stage, are looking unlikely 
to be honoured?


If VFO was annoyed with this enless speculation, why does it not use a 
listserv which it owns to give us some definitive answers to reasonable 
questions?


I am putting off the moment when I will be forced to agree to use to JFW. 
But VFO continues to provide JFW UPDATES, BECAUSE IN TRUTH, vfo IS JUST THE 
FRONT FOR THE PREDATORY BEHAVIOURS OF Freedom Scientific.

All I can definitively tell you is this folks, I work full time 
professionally as an assistive technology instructor with a blindness agency 
every day. At a recent retreat, the thinking throughout the room did most 
certainly seem to be that VFO most likely does have plans to quote unquote, 
kill off, Window-eyes, either now or in the not too distant future. The 
question I asked was, why are we, that is the assistive tech department, 
going to officially be promoting the use of NVDA as a free screen reader, 
and not Window-eyes? My logic being that Window-eyes can also essentially be 
free as well. That's when several replies came back that gave me the 
distinct impression that Window-eyes'
days may in truth be numbered. I hope that's not the case; I've been a 
customer of Gw Micro since the Vocal-eyes days! Anyone here remember those 
days? Back when it used to be Jaws for Dos, versus Vocal-eyes? I remember 
when it used to be Arkenstone who sold Openbook, not Freedom Scientific. I 
do feel that Gw Micro personnel do need to innovate, and do need to perhaps 
learn new ways of becoming freshly and aggressively competitive. I certainly 
hope the shark doesn't gobble up everybody, yuck!

Ask yourself why Earle Harrison from Triumph Technology was ask by the VFO 
group to no longer be able to sell Window-Eyes?  It looks like the only 
place to buy Window-Eyes is from Ai Squared.

Hi Joe And Folks!

I don't think Window-Eyes is going anywhere in the near future, they are
still sellin SMAs and according to what they said to me about 3 to 4
days ago they will be selling them for the near future.  I guess
anything could happen between now and then, but I am certainly not going
to spend my time speculating about something that might or might not
happen.  You know the world might get struck by an astroid and all this
discussion would be for not<SMILE!>.  Enjoy Window-Eyes while it is here
and if for some reason it happens to go away, we will just have to find
another screen reader.  Have A Good 1! de

Absolutely right Tom.  I'm with you already.  If I had the money,  I would
pull GWMicro out of this.

I'm with you, Olusegun.

I planned on buying GW, making it a not for profit organization, keeping 
the wonderful staff, and giving Doug an open checkbook to hire a few 
more killer programmers. But then I didn't win our record breaking 1.5 
billion dollar lottery. So I couldn't quite pull together the funding.

Now I just sit here all day listening to Sinatra sing The Impossible

I for one will continue to use WE as long as humanly possible regardless of 
what VFO eventually does. I also plan to renew my lapsed SMA just as son as 
finances permit so I can once again use the Vocalizer voices I purchased 
four years ago when I want a break from Microsoft Xera.
