Jaws will work with Media Center Edition, but, you must have the XP pro version of Jaws, or run it in demo mode. We run a demo on the computer here that has it, because it isn't one I use hardly ever, and if I do I don't need to have Jaws running for very long at a time at this point.

What happens if a blind person wants to take advantage of the home theater and other enhancements to the Media Center? Even more importantly, what if a blind person is a consultant who needs to be able to troubleshoot such a system? I hope we are able to find out, exactly, what the pitfalls are when trying to use JAWS with Media Center Edition, and whether or not there are any work-arounds.
