Well, JFW Pro will work for all editions of Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that info. I have JFW Pro, so the higher editions shouldn't be a
problem I guess.

Hi, if you wish to use a higher edition than Home Premium, you will need a
pro license. That's all I can say really. JAWS 11 is recommended, but JAWS 9
and 10 also works with few exceptions. Hope this helps.

This thread has been extremely helpful, since I HATE Vista and have
considered reinstalling XP several times. If I was to upgrade to Win 7, is
there a particular version, ie Home or Business, I should go for? Also, I
have JFW 10, so would it be necessary to upgrade that right away?
Thanks,
Will

Thanks for that review--just what I was looking for. Where did you get the
Windows 7 text book?
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
