Hi,
Just wondering, what sorts of noteworthy troubles have you had with Jaws 7? 
I've had scarcely any, that I can think of; the only problems I can remember 
right now have had to do with updates in other apps such as Audible Manager 
and AdAware that required new scripts, generously provided by scriptwriters 
in our online community.  But those weren't lapses in the functionality of 
Jaws itself.  For reference, I run Win XP Home w/SP2 and mostly use apps 
like Word, OE and IE 6.  What problems with Jaws 7 have you encountered that 
make you particularly eager for the next release?  I mean, apart from its 
intended compatibility with ("support for")IE 7?
Thanks.

I sometimes get a message on my computer that says
"hidden jaws"
Could this be the elusive Jaws 8?
Seriously though, after the mess FS made with the release of version 7, I 
would expect--neigh hope--that they would want to make very certain that the 
new release is working well with IE 7.
The release will be mailed to everyone on a CD as the new SAPI voices occupy 
about 700 megs and would present serious download problems for many folks' 
servers.
Just think of the new release as a Christmas present; and if Santa comes 
early--well, we will be pleasantly surprised won't we?

I'm sure none of you have received your copies of JAWS 8 yet, but I seem to 
remember it coming out in October, and IE 7 just came out and i would like 
to download it but would rather do so with proper support from JAWS 8. does 
anyone know when it will be coming out? I'm surprised that there is no 
mention of it on the FS website as of yet.
