Microsoft took a very serious beating for Vista. When I bought my Dell
laptop about a year ago you could still get XP for a little extra. Intel
announced that they wouldn't use it on their pc's. I'd be very careful
about jumping from the frying pan into the fire with 7000. Maybe when they
come out with the first service pack for Vista, it will be a bit more
tolerable.

Windows 7 is built on the Vista core and I'd guess Jaws would be able to run
on it as well.

The way I see it, current versions of JAWS may even work under Windows 7.
