Hi, You may find some people using it already with the current Jaws version, but the official plan is for Jaws 8, due out fairly soon, to be scripted to work correctly with it. Those who've tried IE 7 out with Jaws 7.1 say that it doesn't work too badly, but some ordinary but important things are difficult, like opening and arrowing through choices in combo boxes. Maybe a few other problems, too, but I've forgotten the details. There may For those who hang onto Jaws 7. and 7.1, I'm sure someone will be writing some scripts to customize it so it functions smoothly with IE 7, but I haven't heard about that happening yet. One important thing to note: You may have heard that Microsoft will be making IE7 available November 1 as an automatic high priority monthly download. That's true, but if you have any reason to be skeptical about installing it for the time being, it isn't going to be forced on you. With the critical updates routine, you have the usual choice of checking what updates are being offered and their purpose, including IE 7 at this point, and declining to download and install it if you don't want it. The only reason they're putting it with the critical updates is because they've incorporated a number of solutions to security issues that are integrated with the browser now, and are enthusiastic about getting users to take advantage of this. But still, it's not mandatory to go for it if you're not ready. Hope this helps.
