I am seriously wondering this myself. Probably vfo, who I think make most of
their money through vocational rehab in the US, and therefore users in the US
get jaws cheap like they seem to do mobiles, want to make their money from
Sma's in the UK. The price is a disgrace, and set to get worse because of the
pound. I am seriously wondering if I should junk jaws in favour of nvda.
though nvda feels as if you need to be an octopus to use some of the
keystrokes.

Dear list,
Just got my letter about renewing my Jaws SMA.... I've been around since Jaws
3, I reckon I've shelled out close on £2000 in SMA's and now the going rate is
another £180 if I take it before Dec 31. If not then it's £200... just ram it
right up the blind community why don't you?
Why are they allowed to ramp up the price by twenty quid in a couple of months,
if it's £180 now, it should be £180 up to the next upgrade. I must have paid
for my screen reader three times over.
Are they really making big strides these days or are they just adding bells and
whistles that the average user will never use or need.
Well if NVDA continue to improve their product which is growing in
popularity, here's one person who will dump this total rip off very soon.
Just felt like a rant, phew!
Cheers,
Robin Clayden.
