I don't know where this rumor about Windows 98 started, but it was floating around at the time of the release of JAWS 7. This rumor is not correct and can be safely discarded.

Judith, I believe I read in the Jaws 7 release notes that version 7 was NOT

You can certainly have more than one version of Jaws on your system 
though--although I guess your ram capacity would bear on that. Also, Version 7 
is, I believe about 7 megs in size so we should really know a little more about 
your system before giving a definitive answer.
I use the hot key combo control alt 5, control alt 6 and control alt j for 
versions 5, 6 and 7 respectively.
I like version 7 best of all but so far I have not experienced many of the 
problems others have spoken of.
I am quite certain though that version 7 is specifically not recommended for 
Windows 98.

I just went to the FS website and read of the new features.  Quite honestly,
the spike feature discussed earlier this week would allow me to collect
material on the clipboard and paste it all when I was ready.  The other new
feature that allows for easier menu reading has never been a problem for me.
One thing that I forgot to point out is that I'm working on windows 98.
Would this pose a problem if I decided to install the program?  Thanks,
Judith

There's one on the FS Website. It will be better at listing the
improvements than any of us could be.

Guys,

Really, now. One doesn't have to mutually exclude the other? I think
it's
been noted countless times, you can upgrade but if there are areas
where
things may not work right, it isn't a criminal offense to keep the
older 
version there as a fall-back.

Frankly, there's a lot that JFW 7 has to offer, and I've not
encountered
many of the problems that others have. Obviously, there are
differences
in
system performance due to different display adapters, installed
drivers,
installed software and so forth. But, I find that JFW 7 performs
better
on 
certain web pages and with certain forms; and other additions such as
improved table formatting, MSN 7 support, the virtual clipboard
feature,
firefox etc. are strong arguments to use 7 but have the fallback
ability
to 
your version of choice.

Steve

Quite to my surprise I just got a CD of Jaws 7 in the mail. As I
alluded
to earlier I haven't been following all the complaints about this
newest
version because I didn't have it and was content with my jaws 5.1.
Should
I
install the new jaws or stick with my jaws 5.1? Is it as easy to use
as 
5.1?  Thanks, Judith
