again have you reported your problems to FS? Whether not 8 is better than 7 or 7 is better than 8 is irrelivant. I have pretty good results with both 7 and 8 here on my machines and don't have a lot of the problems reported but have some problems that no one has said anything about. So I send those problems to FS so they know about them and hopefully will be able to fix them. Too many people complain on the list that jaws sucks but never ssend any reports to FS at all.

The best release that I can think of is JAWS 5.0 and 6.0. JAWS 7.0 is considered one of the beneficial relases - as well as one of the best releases besides JAWS 6.x.
