Hi inthane -- I already have a mac that I bought used to play around with. It
is running leopard, but they say SnowLeopard is coming out next month, which is
the new incarnation of leopard.
All I need to do I think is install the software.
Anyway, thanks.

Laura,
I would suggest getting win 7 if at all possible, it seems to be running
well, is more closely related to vista than vista is to XP, and has a lot less
of the items that were annoying vista tryers, I think XP users will test and go
with win 7 more often than they did with Vista.
if your considering a Mac, I'd find a Mac in a store and have them fire up
the voice for you, I've herd both loud applause and thunderous negatives for
it.
I think the difference is between those used to eloquence or deck-talk and
those more used to the TTS style voices like in NVDA.

hey there -- so windows 7 is out -- I would also be interested in how well
it works. Also, I am wondering if I were to get a new laptop, should I get
vista or windows7? especially since I never used a vista box as yet.
Is the interface much different? Should I get vista because it is better
tested and closer to xp?
Or should I get snow leopard on my mack?
Thanx

Hey folks,
I got my copy of windows 7 today and starting digging through the
accessibility features. I haven't noticed much that's new yet. Anyone else had
a chance to try it with Jaws/Narrator/Windows eyes yet?
Thoughts?
