Dear Shaun,
The new JAWS 8.0 works just fine with Vista. The same version works
with all five versions of Vista. There are some new features for
reading tables, and using IE or Firefox. The current version of VO is
not quite as functional on the internet as JAWS, but the one coming
in October(os 10.5) should be a big improvement. The price of the
JAWS upgrade, which you will need if you use Vista, is dependent on
how far back your version is; an upgrade from 6.0 will cost more than
an upgrade from 7.0. If you can stay with XP it will be a big money
savings for you. One of my students just got the upgrade from 5.5 to
8.0 of JAWS and it cost him $550. That is a lot of money. But he had
to have the upgrade to use it with Vista.
Hope this helps,
Mary Lee
