Yeah, I saw this stuff on twitter too. However, nothing on the vfo web
site.
Haven't been able to verify this from any credible source?
seems a bit suspect to me.

Hello all. I don't post much here, but I read a few messages here and there.
It's amazing how many differing messages there are on all of this and yet
most of them without actual facts. *smile*. Because VFO Group now is the
actual company, there is no more competition between Jaws and Window-Eyes,
no more competition between Magic and ZoomText, ETC. At least not in the
technical sense. It's all a part of one larger umbrela. I think many people
have a bad taste in their mouth because they are remembering the name
Freedom Scientific and what the company has done under certain leadership.
That doesn't make Jaws a bad product. That's like when Coke changed their
formula a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Some liked it and some hated
it. Some will still remember that bad experience and still think of Coke
that way even though ti's been different for a very long time.
Instead of speculating, how about we wait and see what happens. This
constant back and forth does nothing but get people's anxiety up. As has
been said before, people will have choice. Whether those choices are ones
they would choose is anyone's guess.

When Vince McMahon purchased world championship wrestling, he now lets
their showers be played on demand on the WWE network, but there are no more
W CW shows. I'm sure that current versions of Window-Eyes, will still be
allowed to be used, but it does not sound like they will continue to update
it, because, Freedom Scientific is the number one source in town, and so
there is no need for them to push another screen reader, especially if it
is their competition.

FS always saw Window-Eyes as a threat and I have a feeling that that
lawsuit
they filed against GWMicro was part of their stradigy to destroy
Window-Eyes. That lawsuit happened when FS was under Lee Hamilton. Then,
Lee Hamilton left in 2013, and John Blake took over and then, in November
of
2015, VFO formed with Optolec and Freedom Scientific. And then, on June
14th, 2016, VFO bought AI Squared, and then, in August of that year, John
Blake moved back to upstate New York, with Tom Teerman as the new
president
and CEO, who is sighted but has family connections to blindness due to
glaucoma. He did say in FSCast that he would probably get glaucoma
eventually. So, Richard Chandler, Lee Hamilton, John Blake, were the
sighted presidents and CEO of Freedom Scientific, while Tom is sighted but
might eventually get Glaucoma.
