Hi Ibrahim
I'm staying put with Windows 7 for a while. I don't see the need to change,
personally, as it does everything I require. It is just concerning for
those who are in the market for a new PC or laptop that they might not know
which version to purchase to accommodate JAWS. It must be the only screen
reader one has to be mindful of when choosing a PC!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie.
Indeed. I'm shocked that FS still think they can differentiate between the
two, for instance to get DVD playback in the Windows Media Centre on Windows
8, you need to have the pro pack before you can buy any extensions such as
the media centre add-on. Yet another reason if I needed one to ditch the
new OS.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim
What you have stated concurs with what I had heard at the time of its
release. But it is important for people to know which version they are
going to get if they are proposing to use JAWS.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie.
Most laptops come with Windows 8, its just called Windows 8 and unless the
literature specifically states it comes with Windows 8 Pro, it'll be the
standard version. I'm not going to go in to a diatribe about how bad the
software is, I'll merely point out that I completely reformatted my hard
drive and installed Windows 7, Windows 8 isn't for me.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Tris
How would you ascertain what version of Windows 8 is running on a machine
then? I'm asking on behalf of a friend not subscribed. They have seen a
laptop in PC World they might want to buy, but need to know what version of
Windows 8 is on it. I think the staff are probably as helpful as a
chocolate fireguard! I've not seen Windows 8, so can't really help.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

There are two sorts of Windows 8.0 available. The vast majority of machines
will have Windows 8.0 Pro on which therefore require a JAWS Professional
licensing. There are however some machines with Windows 8.0 (no suffix).
This is equivalent to a Windows Home Premium and therefore only require a
JAWS standard license.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [access-uk] Windows 8 with JAWS question
Is anyone using Windows 8 with the standard version of JAWS? I am trying to
seek clarification for someone who is thinking of purchasing a laptop, but
has been advised that only JAWS Professional works under Windows 8.
Many thanks.

Jackie Cairns
