George,
Yes, Freedom is aware. We worked closely with them during the development
of IE7. Again the majority of cases in this area work fine today with JAWS
7.1.
As to an official release date for JAWS 8 Freedom Scientific would need to
speak to that but I believe they've talked about a beta coming relatively
soon in recent ACB Radio presentations.

Hi Kelly,
Are Freedom aware of this?

If you are using JAWS 7.1 with IE7, you should be aware that there are still
some situations when JAWS will not correctly read combo boxes or selection
lists on web pages. The majority of situations have been corrected where
this is a problem but it is not 100% resolved. If you are comfortable using
the JAWS cursor you can work around those places where this is still an
issue and I know that Freedom Scientific will fully support IE7 with JAWS 8.
The situations where JAWS tends to not read things correctly involve times
when the combo box is expanded by default on the web page or if you turn it
into a list by using alt+down arrow.
