vista should be number one as far a worst products being accessible for the
blind.
Windows absolutely sucks as far as us being able to install the os with out
sited assistence.

Hi Ann,
No doubt, you will get a mixed review of Vista and Jaws working together.
I have been told that the next Jaws 9 update should fix the one big bug I'm
still encountering with Jaws and Vista.
But I will admit that I do regret buying a new computer last month with Vista.
I should have gotten it with XP.
I did, however, not allow Dell to install Office 2007 on the new computer.
Instead I installed Office 2003.
I have not heard of a single person yet, sighted or blind, who is having any
luck with Office 2007.
So I strongly encourage you to stay away from it.
If you are considering buying a new computer with Vista then you might
consider the following rumor that a friend of mine shared with me. Granted,
it's just a rumor but he works for National Instruments, a high tech company
who has not installed Vista on a single system yet.
He wrote...
Current rumor has it that Microsoft will be replacing Vista with a new
operating system next year. Vista is being compared to the short lived Windows M
E operating system, which was affectionately referred to as Windows Mistake
Edition. Windows M E is number four on a list of the worst tech products ever
produced. I wonder where Vista is going to place. (L O L).
end of his message.
