There is no valid evidence that this acquisition of AI Squared is at all an attempt to form a monopoly.
As stated in the Online Business Dictionary, a monopoly is defined as follows: Monopoly: Market situation where one producer (or a group of producers acting in concert) controls supply of a good or service, and where the entry of new producers is prevented or highly restricted An attempt to merge two competing products together to more than likely preserve the integrety and valuable development efforts of both products is hardly a monopoly. Also, as everyone is aware, there are other Screen Readers and Magnification programs available. I seriously doubt that any efforts are underway to obtain their respective assets. I know we are all deeply concerned and fearful of what the outcomes will ultimately be. However, it is disrespectful in the extreme of how you all have bashed and attacked the staff and management of AI Squared and particularly the dedicated developers of Window-Eyes. Please stop it. I personally am thinking positively that what will emerge will be of greater benefit to us all.
