If you don't I'd go and download nvda now which is free and works very
well, if you get on with it it'll certainly be enough to get you going
in vista if you want to delay the pain of the jaws upgrade. It works in
outlook express, word, and internet explorer and firefox and much more
besides I'm sure - not outlook itself yet but sure that will follow.

If you have JAWS 8, you can download the Vista Beta.
