I would hesitate to rely on Internet Explorer for anything.  Microsoft
doesn't support it and sooner or later none of the screenreaders will
support it either.  As I already pointed out there is the issue that new
applications won't work with Internet Explorer so why beat a dead horse?
The sooner blind people adopt new technology the better.  The JAWS Internet
Explorer paradigm is a thing of the past.  JAWS will work with other
browsers and that's where Freedom Scientific will concentrate its
development.

Why limit oneself to a single browser.  For some things, I rely on IE; for
others Firefox works best for me; yet, for others, Chrome is the route to
go.
And with screen readers perhaps, this seems even more important.

Returning to the subject of Narrator, Harry's comprehensive list of
improvements, for me at least explains, why Freedom Scientific has chosen a
new price structure for JFW.
At a $90-100 a year price point, it should prove affordable to most
individuals, businesses, and agencies to use JFW along with the free choices
of NVDA and Narrator given JFW's richer product.
Narrator is here to stay; presumably NVDA is; and a product like JFW is also
much needed.
Capitalism is wonderful; and the marketplace is adjusting to the changin
world of screen readers and its related technologies.
