hi,

I don't read any documentations but I have a copy of Windows Wista beta release, I also have jaws 6.20 as well as jaws 7.0. I have try to install them into a system and try it. The result is, jaws doesn't work well with it. One major problem is jaws is not a 64 bit program. Windows Wista is a fully 64 bit operating system (OS) and will work well with 64 bit system and 64 bit applications. I don't know where you get to read that documentation, but one advice from me is, please don't move to Windows Wista yet if you don't have a compatible 64 bit machine. windows Wista is another generation of windows family, is not like windows 2K and Windows XP both are running on 32 bit system.

When during one interviews at ACB radio, I still remember that the product manager of Freedom Scientific says, they will release another version of jaws for the up coming of Windows Wista.

I beg to differ, like I said I read an accessibility report that states quite clearly that Vista *is* accessible with JAWS. Did you obtain official info from FS (or test Vista yourself) to post this conclusion? Just curious.
