the need for jaws standard or jaws professional is still a matter of which
version of windows 7 your computer is running, just as it always has.
the home editions are fine with jaws standard, while business and ultimate
require jaws professional etc.
nothing has changed.

Hi folks,
I am using JAWS version 12 standard with Windows 7 64-bit, WindowsLiveMail
and MS Office 2010, and it all works together as one would hope. JAWS
professional is obviously not necessary.
Having moved from Windows XP, Outlook Express and Office 2003, I am finding
things that work differently, and that causes some frustration from time to
time. But I am learning, and the difficulties now seem fewer.
All the best,
Ian

You need Jaws professional to work with 64 Bit as well as it is very nice to
have jaws 12 with windows 7.
Hope this helps,

Subject: new laptop and JAWS?
Hi everyone,
Well, I'm on the verge of purchasing a new laptop. I need something faster
with a bit more power and definitely more memory.
Everything I see now has Windows 7 premium or home edition, which is fine.
However, my main concern is whether or not I need to be aware of anything
when purchasing the new computer.
Does the fact that it is 64 bit mean anything regarding JAWS? I will
probably also be getting Office 2010.
Will I have any real problems with JAWS and will there be some settings I'll
need to change or can I basically install JAWS and use it out of the box?
I need to definitely learn Windows 7 and Office 2010, so I figured since I'm
looking for a new laptop that it would be the perfect time.
Oh, are there any brands that work better than others?
Thanks!
Jim
