Well, I had to do the setup wizard twice, for some reason, first time some
settings were not working right so I rebooted the computer and there was the
wizard again but now things seem to be just fine.  Of course, it figures,
now that I don't have to press enter on forms I do it and zoom off to some
place else, but at work today when I needed to press enter in Jaws 8 of
course, I forgot.  Maybe I will get it all straighten out.

Well, it's here.  I've just downloaded, installed and configured it and so
far hmmm.  It's kind of weird.  Obviously it's not done yet, but for some
reason, the only way I could get it to actually save all my options and
configurations is to change the voices via the global adjustment dialogue,
instead of doing it via the new voice profiles option. If I tried to save a
voice profile, and after pressing ok, my settings, such as punctuation,
speed and pitch weren't saved. However if I did it through the global voice
settings dialogue it worked fine. I wanted to start fresh and not introduce
any settings from previous versions so I did it all from scratch.  As for
auto-forms mode, hmm.  It's interesting as well.  I'm used to being able to
arrow  past an edit field and read on the page, but of course when you're in
forms mode, the focus gets put in the edit box.  This is most notable on
Google. You can turn it off by pressing numpad slash to turn forms mode off,
or turn auto-forms mode off in the config manager under set options...  So
far, it's  very interesting.

I'll send in more reports as I find out stuff.
