[nvda] Re: window-eyes7 beta with scripting

While I agree with you on the principal. It tends to be the commercial companies who get the publicity, and publicity for the blind needing to access computers is a good thing, if only in that it makes the site designers and other parties realise we are out here. Free systems do not have the budgets to advertise.

Perhaps a better perspective on it. If it were not for NVDA, perhaps Window Eyes would have never felt the need to add a scripting language into their screen reader. To me it just shows they feel affordable screen readers like System Access and NVDA to be a threat to their bottom line, $$$. I know that since I made the switch to Vista installing Window Eyes has not even been in consideration. I know for a fact that NVDA and narrator are the only 2 screen readers I know of that can work with the media center in vista. Jaws, Window Eyes and System access all cause media center to hang because of their video intercept or display hooks. So for me, let them have their scripting language, to me and to many others it comes down to not having to pay anything extra to use a computer simply because we are that so called niche market called the blind. I still refuse to give GW Micro 900 dollars to use their product for a year. ----- Original Message ----- From: jim grimsby Jr.

How about we do this? let the list owner do his job. While I agree josh should have not posted this information to this list I don't see any reason why he should be treated rudely etc. 

 It is up to the list owner to take any action they might see fit.  Hth
