I'm happy with 5.1 and don't intend up-grading for a long time. If Bill
Gates comes up with a version of Windows that is radically better than XP
pro, then I might consider a mortgage to pay for it and an up-grade in Jaws.
To be frank, I can't afford the cost of an upgrade without a very good
reason and there doesn't seem to be one in version 6 or 7.

Haven't seen anyone commenting on this thread - could it be that we no
longer care very much about new jfw versions because they come so thick
and fast that each on it's own contains little worth talking about?
quick nav keys for word sounds handy particularly when reading large
documents but would we really remember more new keystrokes.
improved performance in adobe acrobat sounds like the single thing that
might make a difference to me day to day.
access to firefox is interesting on the face of it but will it make much
difference.
a nod to the competition with the version that can be run from a
pen-drive although interestingly at no extra cost which might have minor
benefits for a few although given that the authorization still has to
exist on each hoste machine suspect the usefulness is quite limited.
