Hi Carol I have now got used to Windows 7 I have not heard any good reports on
Windows 8. I am using System Access and it worked okay for what I need.
Cheers
Ron

Subject: [access-uk] Windows seven V Windows 8 from an Accessibility point of
view
Hi folks,
Thanks for the recent help on backup drives. My Seagate STBU1000201 is now on
order so I can Ensure I have all I need from computers before discarding at
least one; then I'll think about the network drive once this is done.
First though I need to make an informed choice about whether to stick with
Windows 7 (which I don't know that well and don't particularly like) or move to
Windows 8 I also need to make a choice about 32 or 64 bit alongside my decision
for the uprade of computer.
I am needing feedback of the way Jaws and NVDA handles Windows 8. I only want
to
use the machine with a computer keyboard and to be able to work in XL, mail,
Itunes (if I must) and perhaps the odd letter in MS Word.
If anyone has worked with Jaws and/or NVDA with Windows 7 and 8, please tell me
what works and does not.
If anyone has specific reasons for moving from 32 bit to 64, or staying at 32,
please let me know.
Hope this isn't too much of a complicated ask.
Thanks as always.
Carol P
