I can't help with Austin's question, but I've got JAWS 13 running on the Windows 8 Developer Preview quite happily. I installed it a while back and don't recall any problems getting it on there. Freedom Scientific won't support it, and there are areas where it doesn't work, but I've found workarounds for most of these.

HJ will NOT be releasing a Windows 8 version until the new release is definite, and this has been reported openly by various people. You keep forgetting you are running the preview of W8 which is primarily for DEVELOPERS and other people use it at their own risk and at this point in time NO SOFTWARE is guaranteed to work with W8 and certainly any problems you come across are unlikely to be resolvable by members of this list as we do not write the software. Austin you obviously don't have much technical nouse so why don't you just leave W8 until you can learn to overcome the problems you are having, which will not be overcome until software vendor release W8 version of their software. This isn't the first time you have asked from program specific help on W8 which for some reason you seem to think everyone knows the answer - no one will until software is released that specifically says "Windows 8 Compatible" or something similar. If you insist on playing with Windows 8 then I'm afraid just like all those other people in the same situation you will keep coming up against problems. Even after the W8 release at the end of the month will not guarantee any program working with it, it just means W8 is at a stage where MS think it is ready for the public to run it and see how they get on with it, and hopefully feedback to MS and other software vendors their findings.
