[access-uk] Re: XP versus Vista

we will all eventually be forced in to going the Vista route, then those of 
us not wanting to pay out more and more dosh for JFW, will have no choice on 
that either! I haven't upgraded JFW since  6.2, because I think it a rip 
off!, but if we are forced in to Vista, then we'll bee forced in to 
upgrading JFW as well--ok, I know there are other ways to go, but they will 
be no cheaper, and come with a steep learning curve!

Subject: [access-uk] XP versus Vista


| Hi all,
| Sorry for the vague subject line, but couldn't think of what else to
| put. Also sorry for the cross posting, but you'll see why below.
| I read from one of the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind for
| those who didn't know) magazines, Compute IT I think, that OEM
| manufacturers will no longer be able to ship XP with their computers,
| nor will retail outlets be able to sell XP. Does any of you know about
| this? Apparently it's because Microsoft will no longer manufacture the
| product, and therefore we will all be forced to switch to Vista from the
| end of January next year. I just hope by then that JAWS, at least, will
| be good enough to work with Vista as we'll have very little choice after
| the above date. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this please. My
| partner and I are personally disgusted, and may even consider switching
| away from Windows because of the complexity of using Vista with
| assistive technologies. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
