Hi Andy
Windows 8 isn't that bad, though I have only seen it, I don't have it on my
machines. You can make it look similar to Windows 7, but the best
experience with it would need to be the latest JAWS release.
But, as someone else stated, make sure you don't end up with Windows 8 Pro
or whatever they call it these days if you only have JAWS Standard. If you
have JAWS Pro, then it doesn't matter what version of Windows 8 you get.
Alternatively, download NVDA and save yourself a bit of dosh!
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi,
I have just also done this upgrade, and I can tell you that although JAWS
does work with Windows 8, the Windows 8 itself is not easy to deal with. I
use JAWS 14 but it doesn't cope that well with Windows 8. Windows 8 is quite
a steep learning curve and radically different, you will need to take all
this into consideration before buying.
