Freedom Scientific and Jaws
Freedom Scientific and Jaws are about to become casualties of this whole issue. By not jumping up and immediately proclaiming support for ODF they are
seriously jepordizing their business. Now you have thousands if not tens of thousands of developers focused on one goal, creating a alternative to JAWS. I have not doubt that in a extremely short period of time we are going to see a open source alternative to JAWS that supports both odf and doc formats. I not sure that supporting odf in jaws is going to help their business as it is already likely to late.

The days of vendors not supplying what is asked for is over, either supply what is asked for or be consumed by tens of thousands of programmers focused on replacing your prized product.
