JFW 5.1 What a disappointment

I was gratified to see some bug fixes, but I was mostly disappointed.
1.  The video bug that has kept me using 4.51 on my laptop instead of
5.0 (and that seems to have plagued several others on this list) appears
to have been ignored entirely; and
2.  Citrix support is still lacking.
It looks like Freedom Scientific realizes it has missed the Citrix
train, inferring from the sort of apology on the Website announcement
about no Citrix support.  We are supposed to watch the Website during
the next several weeks for new developments.
The other guys have Citrix support and at least have announced that they
will work with Word.
On balance, I would rather have a screen reader that works with Word
than one that works with Citrix, but it would be nice to have both.
I guess I would have liked a similar apology for the failure to fix the
5.0-introduced video bug.
