Kamal, Based on what I read in the features and enhancements, I would agree. These seem more like bug fixes and re-fixes to things that used to work, than a new plateau. JAWS 10 at least touted their new browser forms navigation and their new speech synthesizer selection paradigm. I'll just hope now that after a couple of beta turns and a couple sub-versions of 11 we'll have a stable product once again. I still believe that the odd-numbered versions were generally the more stable versions, with the possible exception of JAWS 9. Again just an opinion.

I know that FS have included some nice fixes/updates and some new features but i personally don't see anything that can be considered a major break through in screen reading technology here. The research It feature for example, although it is a very handy feature, however, I don't consider this to be a screen reading technology feature. Also the distribution of the daisy player software is a nice touch but it does not improve on Jaws and in any case many of us are using daisy player to listen to books and so on. I am a loyal customer of FS product and have used Jaws since version 2.0 and have been since paying for upgrades and SMAS. i certainly saw so much changes between one release and another earlier on in the Jaws development. This is only meant as a constructive criticism and not to slam FS.
