Hi May,
You can download a release candidate and try it for free...just
search the Microsoft site. Staples is also advertising a half-price
pre-purchase...you pay for it now and when it's released in October
it is shipped to you. The sale goes till July 11 I think.

Smile, nice to see you on this list as well.
Well, hopefully I will get a copy soon so I can try it out and can
get use to it before the next school year starts.

Hi May,
Nice to see you on this list too! I installed Windows 7 on my
laptop...actually had my brother do it for me. We did a clean
install, wiping out Windows XP. I'm using the 64 bit version. It
works quite well with Jaws...haven't tried the media centre yet.
Cheers,
Russell

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?
