any versions of JFW you don't plan to use, you can remove. When you install
the later versions, it gears your system to use those versions dependant on
your settings. For instance, I have mine set so JAWS 5.0 runs automatically
on this machine. If that's the case, all the older versions are doing is
occupying memory that could be easily used for something else. You'd risk
nothing by uninstalling them.
