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.
