Vista will be out January 30.
The Gold Disc was released on November 8, and the MSDN guys and Corporate
customers will have it if not now then by the end of this month.
The main reason January 30 is set for consumers is because of driver
compatibilitys with current hardware. To give the hardware vendors a window
to update their drivers.
My reason for calling it a disaster is that it's not moving forward. It's
not adding any real, everyday functionality, I didnt' see anything about
Office 2007, SAPI Alia's?
coem on. Able to switch the voice ont he fly when reading text?
That's not screen and application access, that's just a bit of fancy reading
scripting.
I to was once int he comfort zone of Jaws and occasionally go back. Old
habits die hard.

Fs haven't committed to making this upgrade vista-compatible, but then at
the moment we don't know when vista will be released yet, so that seems
reasonable enough to me. I wonder what level of access to Vista WE users
will get for what they have already paid? JAWS has done a great job for me
for the last nine years, I agree that WE is catching up, and is probably
ahead in terms of its user interface being far simpler etc, but I see no
reason for calling the latest version of JAWS a "disaster".
ali, what specific problems are you having with JAWS 8?
