[gui-talk] Many reasons to switch to Office2007

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Joel, FYI Clarence is an employee of GW Micro the manufacturer of
Window-Eyes so it would be rather illogical for him to comment on and/or
support JAWS usage in conjunction with office 2007 given this fact, kind
of like Ford supporting Chev automobiles.
Hope this info is helpful.

Clarence,

You don't say anything here about Jaws.  Do you mean to imply that a
person using Jaws *can't* download the Beta and try it?
Thanks.

I've been reading the discussion about why not to switch to 
Office2007 and the fact that it isn't working with screen readers.  I 
wanted to mention a couple of corrections.  Our beta testers have 
been using the public beta of Office2007 for quite some time as have 
our developers and find it very, very usable indeed.  However, there 
is no reason to take my word for it.  If you own Window-Eyes 6.0 then 
you can download the public beta of Office2007 and try it for 
yourself.  If you don't own Window-Eyes 6.0 then you can download the 
demo at http://www.gwmicro.com and try it yourself.  I think you will 
be quite pleasantly surprised.  We find it very accessible and we 
feel that individuals should be able to use the office product of 
choice rather than be told how awful it will be.  Better to 
experience the good rather than fear the unknown.  Give it a try and 
be pleasantly pleased.
