The key word here is "well".  IE 8certainly  "works" with JAWS 10, but how well 
it works varies from user to user.  You might be lucky and encounter no 
problems, or you might be unlucky and experience sluggish performance, trouble 
loading certain web pages depending on your installed add-ons and problems 
playing embedded audio.  I tried IE 8 twice and reverted to IE 7 in both cases 
because I was not satisfied with IE 8's performance with either JAWS 9 or 10.

  I am being prompted to update my computer to Internet Explorer 8, but I don't 
want to do it until I know how well it works with JAWS.  If it does not work 
well with JAWS, then I don't want to download it.  I am using Windows XP Home 
and Jaws 10.
