[JAWSLite] Re: Jaws 10 and Windows 2k

This is only speculation on my part, but I suspect FS ended support for Win 
2K with JAWS 10, because the program has simply grown too large to include 
pprogram code for Vista as well as Xp and 2K.  JAWS 10 takes up a whopping 
30Mb of RAM.  By contrast, JAWS 9 occupies 18.6Mb and JAWS 8 only about 7Mb. 
So to keep the size of JAWS 10 manageable, some sacrifices had to be made.
