[gui-talk] Latest Jaws update. Worth thebother todownloadand install?

Thu Jun 18 02:04:54 UTC 2009

I have no idea what they're really doing. I'm not technologically 
sophisticated to render a sound opinion on the value of their periodic 
updates to each version. I'd like to somehow distinguish between interim 
updates like this and new releases, which Wayne also refers to as "updates." 
I'm too tired to remember how to put it, but that isn't the right way to 
talk about these things, I'm almost sure.

Anyway, just never mind. your question's only rhetorical, of course. But 
honestly, I don't know if FS does as well as they might with each of these 
updates or not. I simply don't know. Many times an update is released and 
everyone asks each other why didn't they fix this bug that everyone's been 
telling them about for months and months? Which is reality, sometimes. So I 
don't know where they're coming from. Sorry.

Joel, I'm curious.  Why do you think Freedom Scientific goes to the trouble
of developing and deploying updates if it's not to make jaws run better?
Eventually you're going to get the update anyway because it will be included
in future versions of the program.

Chris, could you put this differently, please? In what way are you saying
the Jaws updates are like the Windows service packs? And then, what sorts of

consequences are you saying a person would suffer if they declined to
install the updates? Please explain a little more specifically. Thanks very
much.

Also, try to remember that JAWS updates are like service packs for Windows,
so they'll just be as important as Windows service packs. If you do not wish
to update then consider the consequences.
