Those who wish to use a demo of WIndow Eyes need to be somewhat familiar 
with the standard windows commands or use the alt menus. There are not as 
many quick keys as JAWS has. That is one reason Window Eyes is considered to 
be a more difficult program to use but then if one is familiar with windows 
it is not so bad. Example JAWS has seperate keyboard commands to go to 
headers and links while WIndow Eyes has one command and you can select from 
a dialog box which feature you wish to investigate further.
Both of the programs have good things about them. There should be less 
competition between the two companies if indeed both of the purposes is to 
make computer use easier for blind individuals. Most programs that one buys 
comes with free lifetime updates and upgrades. While I can see a fee basis 
for WIndow Eyes and JAWS I think if the cost of the programs and the 
upgrades would be less expensive than more blind individuals would be able 
to afford them. Yes I know that both companies need money to keep operating 
but for the cost of the programs and upgrades there should definitely be 
majoy improvements in not only what they programs can do in conjunction with 
other programs but also what they can do by themselves. One problem is the 
constant changing of computer languages which hinders some developments and 
cause some of the problems we see in the newest versions of JAWS.
