Hello Albert, I have done a lot of work with vista both while using the operating system and when it was released. I really like some of the features it has to offer. The quick search for example makes it easier to find what your looking for and the new interface automation makes it possible for more applications to be made accessible in the future. The choice of going to Vista or Windows XP very much decides on what you need and how much your willing to pay. It should also be noted that at the moment Jaws does not support Vista. This should change very soon but it's worth mentioning. While using Windows Vista, you will either need to use Window eyes or a free screen reader still very much under development called NVD Non Visual Desktop. I cant write much more at the moment, but feel free to call me or email me privately if I can be of anny assistance.
