Sigh. I think we're all in a state of at least as much exhaustion as anger. 
I've been compiling a list of buggy stuff that I'm experiencing with 8, and 
as I've finished some work I had to complete, I'm going to sit down with my 
notes tomorrow and see about putting a coherent memo together. But the stuff 
I report will surely overlap with what other users are finding, depending on 
their usage (for instance, I don't do anything with sound schemes, so I'd 
never have know about what you describe, below).

Truth is, I almost don't want to bother sending the resulting memo to Tech 
Support. It'll contain too many complaints, and in fact I don't think that 
what I need is for tech support to help me find workarounds for this or that 
or the other. There's nothing that out of the ordinary about my computer and 
its specs, and I'm just sure most of this stuff is simply bugs. So I'll 
probably just send to suggestions, maybe with a cc to Bryan, just to keep 
him in the loop, as they say.

Yardbird, Christ and list,
I've indeed used 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0 and found
that 7.0 is most stable of the three.  The
worst is 7.1 (due to so many bugs, I've
stopped using it; I was particularly
disappointed with how it handles HTML code,
particularly not honoring sound schemes
properly).  * JAWS 8 is a bit stable than
7.1, but it does not match 7.0's stability
level.
* I've complained about this and reported
this problem to Freedom Scientific Tech
Support and received that it has been
escalated; it was even mentioned in the first
update bug fixes list, but it does not work
at all (although it works on systems that
already have 7.1 first release, it will not
work on systems that have 7.1 update
release).  As I've said on an earlier post, a
group wide petition regarding FS Tech Support
and JAWS 8.0 Known Bug List is in order.
Cheers,
Joseph
