No official word, but I do predict JAWS 11 will be the *last* to be supported under XP. As XP SP3 will be in the extended support phase by the time the next JAWS comes out, which is usually autumn time, companies will then choose to not support the OS.

Problem is, when jaws 12 comes out, it may not support XP anymore. That will be a problem for those of us who still use XP, because when changes to Internet Explorer and other programs occur, making them more inaccessible, we won't be able to rely on updates to fix the problem, unless we want to upgrade to Windows 7.

I just hope that 12, whenever it comes, clears up 11's major problems. It is the first version I've found (and I go back to 1.X) that was a total waste of money.

Sort of like life insurance -- you pay and pay because you don't dare to not pay.

I had no idea that upgrading from my current version of JAWS 9 to JAWS 11 Pro is so expensive. Guess I'll be sticking with JAWS 9 until this computer dies. I have better things to spend $400 on.

The cost for the SMA for JAWS Basic, is$120.00.Total for both products is $240.00. If you have a license for JAWS Pro, Version 10 and you are using a Professional version of Windows, such as XP Pro, the cost to upgradetoJAWS Pro, Version 11, is $200.00. The cost for the SMA for JAWS Pro, is $200.00. Total for both products is $400.00. (In both cases, You must purchase the SMA at the same time as theupgradefor JAWS). If you have a version of JAWS, earlier than JAWS 10, the cost toupgradeto JAWS will be greater. contact Freedom Scientific or your local dealerforupgrade prices. If the person at FS gave me incorrect information, regarding the above prices, please! don't shoot me! I'm only the messenger! Also, please! don't shoot me! It's not my fault I'm not a piano player.
