Welcome to GW Micro's "Guess What?" series, an introductory look at the
highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1.  

Today is the day that you have been waiting for!  Today is the day that
Window-Eyes becomes even easier to use with its brand new user
interface.  Today is the day that blind consumers now have even better
access to Microsoft Word and access to Visual Studio 2010.  Window-Eyes
pulls ahead of the competition by supporting Internet Explorer 9. It
also now incorporates more Apps providing more access to more
applications.  The excitement has been building, and the time has come.
To learn how to make your life easier, help you through your educational
experience, and make yourself more marketable in the workplace, stay
tuned to learn how to download Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1.  

There are a few things you need to know about the new version,
including both technical and pricing information.  

What operating systems will Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 support?  It
supports all 32-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,
and Server 2003.  It also supports all 64-bit versions of Windows Vista,
Windows 7, and Server 2008.  As Microsoft has dropped support for
Windows 2000, so has Window-Eyes.  Of course technical support will not
stop for users using older operating systems.  

How much will the upgrade cost?  If you are at the latest version of
Window-Eyes, the upgrade will cost $175 plus shipping.  We have been
talking about a special promotion through the entire Guess What series.
If you already own version 7.x you can purchase the upgrade before 7.5
is officially released for only $150 plus shipping.  Order your upgrade
today before this special offer comes to an end!  Note that if you have
an SMA, the upgrade will cost you one SMA count.  

How much does a new copy of Window-Eyes 7.5 cost?  The full version is
$895 plus shipping.  If you are a new customer, you can purchase the
full version of Window-Eyes 7.2, and receive the upgrade to 7.5 for
FREE for a limited time.  Once the beta testing is complete and
Window-Eyes 7.5 is officially released, this offer will expire.  So, if
you have been waiting to order Window-Eyes, now is the time to order!  

Perhaps you are using an older version of Window-Eyes and you really
want to use the brand new version.  Don't put off upgrading any longer,
and take advantage of the upgrade cap offer.  Upgrade any single-user
version of Window-Eyes now for just $499 regardless of the version. 
This $499 upgrade will upgrade you to 7.2, and provide you with one SMA
count.  This means that you will get 7.5 as soon as it is out of public
beta.  If you want more than one count toward an SMA, pay only $699 to
get to version 7.2 and have 3 SMA counts.  This means you will have 7.2
immediately, then 7.5 when it ships, and still have two SMA counts left.
Please note that the payment plan can NOT be used for this special
upgrade cap.  So, if you are sitting at an old version of Window-Eyes
such as 1.0, upgrade today!  This offer will expire as soon as 7.5 is
officially released.

Instead of the upgrade cap special, those who own older versions of
Window-Eyes can take advantage of our payment plan to upgrade.  How
does it work? As most of you know, it is possible to buy a brand new
copy of Window-Eyes through our Payment Plan program (details at
www.gwmicro.com/paymentplan).  We also offer a Payment Plan path for
older upgrades.  If the total cost of the upgrade would cost you $400
or more, then you can use the Payment Plan program to upgrade to the
latest version of Window-Eyes to help defray the cost.  If you choose
this option, you must migrate (if still using a standard version),
upgrade to the latest version, pay an extra $50, and pay for an SMA via
the Payment Plan program.  This will not be paid up front, but over
time.  The first payment is $50 plus shipping, and then either $100 or
$39 per month (depending on the plan you choose) until the balance is
paid in full.  Remember, this is NOT available when using the upgrade
cap offer as noted earlier.

Also, don't forget that you can still purchase a Software Maintenance
Agreement (SMA).  If you have Window-Eyes 7.2, you can purchase an SMA,
which will provide you with the next three major upgrades, for only
$299.  This is the least expensive (and best way) to get upgrades.  You
will be first in line to receive the upgrade, and you will not have to
pay for shipping for each upgrade.

Access to the public Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1 program is limited to valid,
registered copies of Window-Eyes.  Regardless if you are using a full
copy of Window-Eyes or a Payment Plan version, you will be able to
install the beta as long as you are running an English Window-Eyes 7.x.
However, you will not be able to run a demo version.  If you do not
currently own Window-Eyes, purchase a 60-day evaluation copy for only
$39 to try out the public beta.

Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for.  To download and try
Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1, head on over to www.gwmicro.com/beta.  Don't
forget that we will have a FREE webinar on version 7.5 this coming
Wednesday at 2 P.M. Eastern time.  You can access the webinar at
www.gwmicro.com/meeting.  Enter your first and last name for the
username, and leave the password blank.  You do not need to register,
but get there early because space is granted on a first-come,
first-served basis.  The webinar will be archived for downloading at
www.gwmicro.com/training.  

Enjoy Window-Eyes 7.5 Beta 1!!!
