Some of us are complaining to Microport via E-mail, and not just 
complaining, but suggesting solutions. There are efforts underway to
make DWB 2.0 available to V/AT users.

Because there are at least some people even at Microport who care about more
than the bottom line; however, if I were one of them, I would not respond to
some of the complaints posted here either, seeing what tone they are in.

Seriously, I find that most companies react better to e-mail and phone calls
than to constant bashing in a public forum like this.
