I understand that NVDA are working hard on Windows 8 compatibility. Some elements are in the current beta version, 2012.3 beta 1.

.
I have no idea what the user experience in Windows 8 is like, and am likely to leave it for a few years yet while the bugs are ironed out (grin!).

Hi

I am looking into updating my desktop computer and I was wondering
what people's opinions are on windows 8?  Is it easy to use for a VI
person and will JAWS run on it?  Anymore information or advice would
be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Debbie
