Do people not use place-markers because no one has trained them in how to
do them? That would be my first speculation based on my personal
experience with formal JAWS training, Offhand, they sound extremely useful
and they are certainly on my list of gee it would be good to look up more
about. That is not at all a lack of interest, but the training / support/
evangelization angle is another aspect of competition in a very rapidly
changing technical environment.
Further speculation informed only by casual attention to software
intellectual property issues: I would think place markers on webpages would
be a very important competitive area just because of the proliferation of
dynamically updated webpages. If one can make a location and go back there,
one does not have to reread the whole page if only a small area is
updated.
I tend to agree that patent infringement suits in the software realm are
sometimes just an effort to extort license fees. I have also lived a little
too long in the land of Microsoft, land of buy low, sell high, to
automatically be sympathetic to patent infringement claims.
However, I also definitely want time to work with Window Eyes because it is
supposed to be far superior to JAWS about switching between different
languages.
