Jaws does not work with the start screens, so you have to work from the desktop. There are a lot of extra functions available, and you will have to learn how to access these and how to use them. There are third party packages available to make the start screens and some other functions look like XP Pro or Windows 7 but I tried them out, and although it made life a little easier, they don't work that well and so affect the machine and its performance. It is better though than having the Windows 8 standard screens. The main thing is this, Windows 8 is very different, it takes some getting used to, and you will have to really spend time to learn how it works and how to use it. Its not impossible to use, but its very different to what you have used before. I would talk to Mo who is on this list to give you more technical details especially with the third party interfaces and importantly, what kind of laptop to go with, as you will need something with lots of RAM to make it work well with this windows.----- Original Message ----- From: "andrew shipp" <andrew.shipp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Iuse JAWS 14 but it doesn't cope that well with Windows 8. Windows 8 is quitea steep learning curve and radically different, you will need to take all this into consideration before buying.
