Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 Now Available
Nov-08-2012GW Micro is proud to announce Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2. The first beta of Window-Eyes 8.0 has been a huge success, and now we're working on polishing the rough edges, and preparing for a final release in the very near future. All of the changes between Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 and Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 can be found in the readme located on the beta page (www.gwmicro.com/beta), or in the Help menu under Documentation after Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 has been installed.
We would like to thank everyone for their continued feedback. You may continue to send comments and questions to support@gwmicro.com.
Windows XP and Windows 7 Users
If you are running Window-Eyes 7.5 (including 7.5, 7.5.1, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.5.4, or 7.5.4.1), or if you are running Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1, you can install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2.
Windows 8 Users
Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 can be installed on any existing Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1, regardless of operating system. This means, if you used the full installer of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 for Windows 8, you can now use the beta 2 upgrade rather than having to uninstall Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1, and install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 from scratch.
If you did not try out Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 under Windows 8, but you're curious about trying beta 2, there is a full Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 install for Windows 8.
A demonstration copy of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 has also been made available, which does not require Window-Eyes to be already installed on your system. Please note that there are some limitations to the demonstration copy version of the beta. For example, you will not be able to use Window-Eyes in Safe Mode. You will need a full copy of Window-Eyes to try this new feature on Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2.
If you install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2 and you purchase 8.0 or are eligible to receive 8.0 as a part of your Software Maintenance Agreement, you will automatically receive the upgrade via electronic download as soon as it is available. This is yet another new feature in Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2. You will also receive the new version on CD. For a complete list of all new features in Window-Eyes, you can find them in the Readme in the Help menu of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 2.
What is the price of Window-Eyes 8.0? The retail price of Window-Eyes 8.0 will remain the same and payment plans are still available for U.S. customers. Additionally, if your Window-Eyes license is already at version 7.5 or higher, you may still purchase a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) until the official release of Window-Eyes 8.0. We recommend that you order your SMA as soon as possible to help your investment in Window-Eyes go even further. Find out all of the pricing information and other details by going to www.gwmicro.com/beta. Additionally, you may contact GW Micro at (260) 489-3671. Orders will be shipped on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to place your order today! Please note that Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta is only available for English copies.
