Hi,
I now have the RTM DVD of Vista though won't be trying it. The point I =
was trying to make was that this 8.0 came only a few days after the =
hotfix for 7.10, we were quite happy with this hotfix for IE, and FS =
could have spent longer testing the v8 version, possibly getting a =
version that has Vista compatability out end of Jan/middle of Feb =
sometime.
As Barry says the new features in it aren't really worth bothering with, =
there is in the new features list some Jaws keystrokes for moving round =
tabs in IE7, the thing is that those are Windows commands and I can do =
this fine now in version 7.10!
Andrew.

Vista will be out January 30.
The Gold Disc was released on November 8, and the MSDN guys and =
Corporate=20
customers will have it if not now then by the end of this month.
The main reason January 30 is set for consumers is because of driver=20
compatibilitys with current hardware. To give the hardware vendors a =
window=20
to update their drivers.
My reason for calling it a disaster is that it's not moving forward. =
It's=20
not adding any real, everyday functionality, I didnt' see anything about =
Office 2007, SAPI Alia's?
coem on. Able to switch the voice ont he fly when reading text?
That's not screen and application access, that's just a bit of fancy =
reading=20
scripting.
I to was once int he comfort zone of Jaws and occasionally go back. =

habits die hard.

Fs haven't committed to making this upgrade vista-compatible, but then =
at
the moment we don't know when vista will be released yet, so that seems
reasonable enough to me. I wonder what level of access to Vista WE =
users
will get for what they have already paid? JAWS has done a great job for =
me
for the last nine years, I agree that WE is catching up, and is probably
ahead in terms of its user interface being far simpler etc, but I see no
reason for calling the latest version of JAWS a "disaster".
ali, what specific problems are you having with JAWS 8?
