Hi,
I've downloaded and installed the update (october 26 release)
consulting the Windows UI Automation blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/winuiautomation/archive/2009/09/16/announcing-the-platform-update-for-windows-vista.aspx
Though the menus have started working with Jaws 11, yet the code
window behaving the same — no improvements.
I don't know — being my office computer always connected to internet —
how Windows Update missed this release, although it frequently
downloads some sort of updates.
