Yes, I'm probably going to wait until the first service pack comes out to even think about switching to vista. As of right now, I think Vista is just a pricy service pack to xp. There just isn't too many things new with it that could justify me upgrading. Perhaps when Vista sp1 comes out, I'll reevaluate things.

That's alright, Microsoft dropped the ball when it comes to Vista anyway. Personally, anyone who wants to go out and buy it on the day it's released should wait 6 months anyway. At least until the first service pack comes out. Of course, the only reason I say that now is because I end up receiving most of the tech support calls for Vista. At least where Dell's concerned.

Yep, Rick, what I think Eric meant was that you'd have Vista support, but only when they get around to it. I guess they figure that most people won't be running Vista on the day it's released, and in some cases they're right. But what about those who choose to get really brave and install Vista on their machines? You'd better have a copy of one of the other screenreaders at your dissposal or you're kinda S,O, L. I think JAWS is a great screenreader, but I'm just disappointed that FS wasn't ready. they dropped the ball.

Chris, Rick and list,
If someone is brave enough, then that person can buy a version of Vista (hopefully Ultimate) and see if JAWS 7.0 and above are supported (or if 8.0 does work with AERO interface).
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Chris,

I thought Eric Dammery promised Vista support
on launch day when 8.0 was
released?  Did I misunderstand FS here.
Looked out on the website and
didn't find any mention at all.  I guess that
is why FS refused to go on ACB
radio main menu tonight with Jeff bishop
because they have no product for
vista.  Congrats to the other readers that
got it right and support Vista
today and not whenever they feel like it.

As far as I know, JAWS is not officially
supported under Windows
Vista.  To my knowledge, the  only
screenreaders that officially
support Vista are Window-eyes, Hal, and I
dunno if you'd even count
this as a an official screenreader, but
Freedom Box System Access is
also supported under Vista.  It's too bad
that FS appears to have
dropped the ball on this one.
If you're a JAWS user and you want Vista,
you're screwed.

NONE, until you check out in depth the
hardware requirements for VISTA...
you might need to update some of your
hardware
