Hi folks
Very interested to follow the threads on Window-eyes over the last few
months.
It is good to see Jaws getting a real run for its money and in many
instances overtaken. A more than effective competitor may make FS pull
up their boot straps and adopt a more progressive policy towards future
development of Jaws.
The question that I pose in regards to Jaws 8 is that has this simply
been rush released without the necessary level of testing and
consultation? I've a demo copy and boy is it faulty! I'm also trying
Window-eyes demo and am interested to see the differences. However, I
don't at present see the need to panic and change over from one to the
other.
I'm a great believer in the circle effect in what comes around goes
around so to speak. What I do hope is that what gwMicro/Window-eyes is
doing at the moment makes FS re-visit its pricing policy and realise
that they're turning away customers. I also hope that future Jaws
development takes back the ground and hence there is some good healthy
competition between the two - maybe this may help in pricing but lets
watch this space.
Just for fairness, Window-eyes is also available from the Force ten
company.
Cheers
Ian.

Hi Carol,
You evidently didn't read my previous messages. The pound sign got
mangled.
Full version is 520.00 pounds. But I thought you already had a copy.
All the best

What Steve? Dollars - 3520.00?
I'd want a lot of hand holding to upgrade, though I'd have liked to have
done so, but not at that price!
