Hi Jeff,
I came to windows 7 kicking and moaning but after a few false starts it
started to make sense
Fortunately I can now flip between using and xp operating system and windows
7.
Stick with it.
Try the blind geek zone for some tutorials. They're a wee bit on the
ponderous side but worth a listen.

Jaws has a lot of features that are not needed/used by the average user,
but they're there for power (supposedly) if you're interested enough to put in
the time. In other words, you don't have to learn all, just what you need for
your tasks.
I think any screen reader is a fair learning curve if you're going to get
the best out of it and not just make it around the screen, if you know what I
mean.
Why don't you try the Jaws demo which I think is for 60 days? (Someone
will correct me if this is not the case.) This should give you a good feeling
about Jaws and what's involved in the learning curve.
