Doug Geoffray, GW Micro Inc., said: “In the past it’s been challenging for the AT community to ship updated versions of our products in a timely fashion following the release of a new version of Windows or Office,

But because Microsoft has done such a good job collaborating with us during the development process of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office release, there is a lot of confidence and excitement in the AT industry about the launch of these new products”. [source]
