Mandy - IE7 is different in that you can use it differently if you want to but
in terms of your initial experience when you install it there is virtually no
difference you don't need to learn any new commands or work any differently to
usual. All the same keystrokes will work and most things are in the same
places in the menu structure. Only when you feel like it do you need to
explore the new stuff such as multiple tabs.

Mandy, IE7 is pretty different, if only because of the use of tabbed browsing,
but don't let that put you off.
The other thing that seems to phase people is the information bar or whatever
it is. Don't know now though that JfW users find that a problem. HAL is
another story though.
Cheers,

Hi Chris and Peter, thanks because I'm a bit dim about these things, my husband
uses Firefox on his laptop but I think from what you've both said I'll try IE7
first, is it very different to IE6?

Hi Mandy, I used to use Firefox on my Windows XP laptop, and the nice feature
was the ability for tabbed browsing. This means you don't have to have several
browser windows open, crowding your desktop, to view multiple web pages; you
can now view them in multiple tabs in a single browser window. IE7 also has
this facility. Now I'm using Vista and JAWS 9, I'm finding IE7 to be very good,
and, as a result, I'm no longer using Firefox as my browser of choice, but I
can remember the above Firefox feature that's in IE7.
My advice would be to try both and take your pick. Hope that helps, and good
luck.
