Hi Chris,
Mix of assumptions and evidence: We know that JAWS works with Windows 7 RC
(at least for now); Since Windows 7 resembles Windows Vista but it is
somewhat "modernized" e.g. lesser space on hard disks, somewhat faster than
Vista (according to articles that I read), then we can assume and have
evidence to assume that JAWS will work with Windows 7. Also, since Windows 7
editions reflectthose found under Vista, then it can be inferred that same
OS descriptor mechanism applies here: that Standard supports Home editions
while pro supports all of them (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of JAWS).
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. Windows 7 versions are Home Basic, Home premium, Pro, Enterprise
and Ultimate, just like Vista - Starter is not included here, although the
edition lists lists it as one of the editions.

Joseph and all, how do we exactly know that JAWS standard will work for
Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium? Have this ever been tested on beta/RC
releases? Or has Freedom Scientific confirmed it somewhere? Just curious
that's all.
