Yesterday, Serotek announced the release of System Access 3.0,which it claims
is the first commercial screen reader to be fully compatible with the 64-bit
version of Windows Vista, which is becoming increasingly popular as the
stqandarrd OS in many new PCs. With Microsoft set to release Windows 7,
a64-bit OS, sometime next summer, the question arises whether JAWS will be
ready to meet the challenge. Obviously, JAWS will have to modified to work
with Windows 7, but does this mean that it will no longer work with older
32-bit versions of XP and Vista? It seems to me that JAWS would need to become
even more resource intensive than it already is in order to be compatible with
both 32 and 64 bit operating systems.So to speculate, will JAWS 11 be
compatible only with Windows 7, or will it still work with 32 bit versions of
XP and Vista? Just curious what the real geeks out here think.
