And, in my opinion, it will ultimately mean that the lowest common
denominator will become the norm--each company's problems will simply get
bigger and will affect the other's products. I don't know how Window-Eyes
fared on the version control front, but JFW tends to break one thing while
fixing another, and I can see this leeching into the newly-acquired product
streams.

I'm not sure I understand the benefit of this merger. So now VFO Group owns
two competing screen readers, two competing screen magnifiers, and two
competing lines of braille displays. That sounds like VFO can raise prices
or stop developing one of the competing lines in favor of the other.
