Hi Tris,
You are a little ray of sunshine aren't you? <Smile>. I would say upgrade.
8 is faster on my system, works well with Window-Eyes and JAWS 10, and I
haven't come across a site yet where it doesn't work better than 7.
All the best
Steve

I would really hang fire on the IE8 thing now and definitely not at all
unless you were a JAWS 10 user. Even then I would be very circumspect
if you really rely on your browser. The IE8 development process has
been controversial regarding rendering engines and standard compliance
and has had many twists and turns to boot. If you don't want trouble I
would wait until the screen reader world fully absorbs the final release
of IE8 and digests what is working and what is not before jumping in.
Many people including myself have been sitting on their hands on this
one until things finally settled on a release. I will sacrifice a
virtual machine to this shortly and see what is happening with it and
JAWS some point next week.
There is a real gotcha for XP users in that if they install IE8 and then
upgrade to service pack three there is no way to return back to IE7.

Hi Ibraham I've not noticed anything different however you should
upgrade to keep up with latest security flaws. Also IE8 includes "in
private browsing", meaning, in theory, you can do online banking without
any traces left on your computer.

Hi Everyone.
Is anyone using internet explorer 8 with jaws? How have you found it
and is
it worth my time in upgrading? To what extent are the new features
accessible.
All the best, Ibrahim.
