JAWS has always worked in the task manager in Windows XP. That is, it has certainly worked since version 4.50. In Windows XP professional, JAWS used not to read the dialogue which popped up when you pressed control alt delete, but you could definitely have pressed an alt t to bring up the task manager, which read fine. Happily, it seems even that this minor inconvenience has been completely and utterly fixed with the new JAWS 5.00.812 release.
