Hi folks! New member on the list. I'm with those who want to wait at least a little while before upgrading to Vista. Just going on what I've heard, jaws may have some work to do, because of the way this new version of Windows is written. Not sure, and I'm not a computer programmer, but that's what the analysts say about it. I've heard the program comapred to a Mac platform. Either way, I'm happy for now with my XP set up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Keen" <dkeen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ya, same feeling here. Why do they have to go and mess up a good thing! xpsp2 has to be the most stable! Now they go and release something full of bugs to fix with a few large service packs. I guess it's money witch isn't a bad thing. oh well. I'll stick to xp as long as possible.----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake Sinnett" <frequency660@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 8:20 AM Subject: Re: Vista!Yes, I'm probably going to wait until the first service pack comes out to even think about switching to vista. As of right now, I think Vista is just a pricy service pack to xp. There just isn't too many things new with it that could justify me upgrading. Perhaps when Vista sp1 comes out, I'll reevaluate things.From: James Homuth <james@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Vista! Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:31:43 -0500That's alright, Microsoft dropped the ball when it comes to Vista anyway. Personally, anyone who wants to go out and buy it on the day it's released should wait 6 months anyway. At least until the first service pack comes out. Of course, the only reason I say that now is because I end up receiving most of the tech support calls for Vista. At least where Dell's concerned.James, List Admin At 04:45 PM 1/30/2007, you wrote:Yep, Rick, what I think Eric meant was that you'd have Vista support, but only when they get around to it. I guess they figure that most people won't be running Vista on the day it's released, and in some cases they're right. But what about those who choose to get really brave and install Vista on their machines? You'd better have a copy of one of the other screenreaders at your dissposal or you're kinda S,O, L. I think JAWS is a great screenreader, but I'm just disappointed that FS wasn't ready. they dropped the ball.At 03:30 PM 1/30/2007, you wrote:Chris, Rick and list,If someone is brave enough, then that person can buy a version of Vista (hopefully Ultimate) and see if JAWS 7.0 and above are supported (or if 8.0 does work with AERO interface).Cheers, Joseph----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harmon"<rharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTo: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:26:20 -0500 Subject: Re: Vista!Hi Chris,I thought Eric Dammery promised Vista supporton launch day when 8.0 wasreleased? Did I misunderstand FS here.Looked out on the website anddidn't find any mention at all. I guess thatis why FS refused to go on ACBradio main menu tonight with Jeff bishopbecause they have no product forvista.

To my knowledge, the onlyscreenreaders that officiallysupport Vista are Window-eyes, Hal, and Idunno if you'd even countthis as a an official screenreader, butFreedom Box System Access isalso supported under Vista. It's too badthat FS appears to havedropped the ball on this one. If you're a JAWS user and you want Vista,you're screwed.At 03:09 PM 1/30/2007, you wrote:Good point yes.Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert S.Batchelor"<leehigh73@xxxxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 1:11 PM Subject: RE: Vista!NONE, until you check out in depth thehardware requirements for VISTA...you might need to update some of yourhardware---------------------------------------------------------------------Eliminate annoying spam!My mailbox is protected by iHateSpam, the#1-rated spam buster.http://www.ihatespam.net-----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf thomas williams Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 5:06 AM To: Jfw@Freelists.
