Software development is a kind of never ending project, and it is just as
true of FS as it is Microsoft or Apple or whoever mostly. The releases
along the way put in the bricks you build on with the release a year later.
Sure FS will be looking at Vista (neé Longhorn), but don't have the finances
to let the revenue stream dry up while they figure out a compatible release
for, even assuming the new OS is on time.

Hi,
The thing is now at work I am on 5.1. When Longhorn or whatever comes out
in a few years, I would pay more for upgrading to the latest version at that
time then if I had kept up with the upgrades, so the more upgrades they put
out in this period the more money they will make when they get an upgrade a
lot of users will have to jump up to. I really don't see why they need to
continually put out new software - I am quite happy with the version I
already have.
Thanks.
Andrew.

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.
