Hi

when you say, "full issue" I am guessing you mean, a full version, not a 
patch. This is correct. However, if you are an msn messenger user, stay 
away from 6.1.  I am also becoming increasingly disgusted with FS and their 
lack of interest in fixing their software.  They now say they will fix MSN 
6.2 and 7.0 in the next version of JAWS, which will be 7.0, tentatively 
scheduled to be released this summer if all goes well. This is absolutely 
unacceptable! Why release a product that breaks a widely used application, 
to add a few feature that maybe, oh I dunno about 2 other people are gonna 
use? I mean really, does anyone actually think they're going to use all 
these stupid features they're adding now? Nobody but the developers really 
use these features, and they're really losing touch.  It's like I've always 
said. FS works on a schedule. Even if the program is buggy, oh well it's 
the date we said we'd release it, so here you go, it's got more bugs than a 
summer camp in August, but here ya go.
  and when we report bugs, they say deal with it!  If they keep this crap 
up, I think we'll see a lot of people switching to another 
screenreader  from a company that actually gives half a crap about its 
customers. I'm no huge fan of Window-eyes, but I am really beginning to see 
why the faithful fans of it think the way they do.
