So will this mean that if you switch computers you will have to buy another copy of jaws to be compatible with the new system?

In my view, two versions of JAWS 11 will be released, JAWS 11 (32-bit
version) and JAWS 11 (64-bit version).

Subject: JAWS and 64-bit OS



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.
