Welcome to GW Micro's Guess What series, an introductory look at the highly anticipated release of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1.<br />
<br />
Today is the day that you have all been waiting for!&nbsp; Today is the day that Windows Safe Mode becomes accessible; today is the day that Window-Eyes starts supporting JAVA applications like OpenOffice.&nbsp; Today, you will get access to Windows 8 and also experience an all new way of accessing the Internet with Window-Eyes.&nbsp; The excitement has been building and we know you are ready to try it out for yourself!<br />
<br />
But, before we discuss how to get Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1, there are a few important details you need to know about the new version, including both technical and pricing information.&nbsp; First, let's cover the technical details.<br />
<br />
What operating systems will Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 support?&nbsp; It will continue to support all operating systems that Window-Eyes 7.5.4.1 supported, including XP and above.&nbsp; Additionally, it will support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.<br />
<br />
As you know, Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 offers support for all flavors of Windows 8 as well as Windows Server 2012.&nbsp; If you want to try Window-Eyes on a Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 machine, you will need to use the full installation of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
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), you can install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 if you intend to use a non-demonstration copy.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
A demonstration copy of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 has also been made available, which does not require Window-Eyes to be already installed on your system.&nbsp; 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 1.<br />
<br />
If you install Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 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 1.&nbsp; You will also receive the new version on CD.&nbsp; 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 1.<br />
<br />
What is the price of Window-Eyes 8.0?&nbsp; The retail price of Window-Eyes 8.0 will remain the same and payment plans are still available for U.S. customers.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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!&nbsp; Please note that Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta is only available for English copies.<br />
