  If you do not want to have 2 operating systems on 1 pc, you will get much 
fewer problems by installing from the beginning all over. anoying for several 
reasons but the best thing to do.

    Thanks very much.  I'm also not use to the media center.  i can't even get 
that to work for me with Vista.

    Now to switch, should I take Vista off and then install 7 or how does that 
work if you know.

      Hi,

      I did not have Vista running but went from XP to Vista.
      Since you know Vista you are used to most of the degradations  MS until 
now have continued in the beta.

      The start menu and the search field. For power users the search field is 
interesting, but searches are related to it seems the last searches. There is 
no way I have found of getting to all programs fast, and twhen you get there it 
is very easy to get into the search field. 

      The ability to customize all folders have gone, now you can only 
custimize folders of the same type.

      There are I think a new control something to do with e.g. file 
information. NVDA is said to support it but jaws just report strange things if 
you land there.

        I have until now not been able to work with Media Center, only the 
control speacks, but I cannot get the rest of the text in Media Center read 
when I want to and it is not read when you go into a new screen, no luck with 
either the JAWS cursor or read intire window commands work here.

        I suppose you are used to many of these issues so switching should not 
be a big deal.

        Hi everyone.  I know that jaws works with windows 7 to a certain degree 
at this moment.  What I'm wondering now is how easy is it to switch from Vista 
to 7?
