Correct, and I have lots of end-users having no difficulties in that 
environment.  I see far far too many blind people blaming their adaptive 
technologies when 
it is an underlying system configuration problem, and I'm no fan of the shark 
other than it has scripts for programs I want/need to run which I don't feel 
other 
screen readers can touch.

Thanks, Sean, but can you give any specifics of problems you've encountered in 
the past?  A knowledgeable and trusted 
contact from FS tells me that JAWS does support Media Center.  One must 
purchase a JAWS Professional authorization 
however.

Dear Bill, 

As you know I am the assistive technology specialist for the state of Arizona 
and the Southwest. 

I will not allow any system to be loaded with Windows Media center because of 
numerous anomalies especially with regards to 
using JAWS. 

I can't say for sure just what your going to be dealing with when using 
CakeTalking and Sonar, but I would never allow a user to 
have media center on a system I would speck out for a DAW for the blind. 

Just my opinion. 
Take Care,
