Hehe! Keep up bugging them.
Please let me know when you've tested Window-Eyes.
JAWS 11 is the last upgrade on my current SMA, so it's a good time to ditch
JAWS.
If System Access is very slow even with Eloquence it's useless.
So this leaves me with Window-Eyes as the only alternative to JAWS.
Don't get me wrong here, I like JAWS but it's frustrating that critical bugs
like the Outlook 2007 ships with a final and stable version of JAWS.
And I need to wait for JAWS 12 or even 13 before these bugs are sorted out.
And then new bugs are introduced and I need to renew my SMA again to receive
new bug fixes.
Grrrr...

I have windows-eyes 7 but I have not installed it so I will try it soon. As
for System access it works good but it is very slow even with eloquence it
is very slow. I have been working with Jaws the change they made in the
last update was a lot to do with me bugging the hell out of them. The
problem is they are switching to use the new command line API uses is in
windows. I am sure once it is fully fixed then there will be no problem but
the testing the beta group and in house is doing is very sad.

I can confirm both the command prompt and Outlook 2007 problems.
Jaws 11 crashes when reading certain HTML messages in Outlook 2007.
But that's not a 64-bit problem, I have the same problem on a 32-bit XP
machine.
The latest update to Jaws 11 has sorted out some of the problems when using
the command line on Win 7 64-bit.
It's better, but far from perfect.
It's frustrating, but there are currently no alternatives in my opinion.
Ok, I have only used Jaws and NVDA.
So I can't comment on Window-Eyes and Saratech System Access.

Weird I didn't have that problem You will find though there are problems
from everything like the dos prompt is not reading right yet to email in
outlook 2007 has problems. It all can be dealt with but I have to say this
is the worst version of Jaws since 4.1

Hi all --
I'm taking care to get correct software and drivers for my new 64 bit
windows7 machine, but I noticed some disturbing glitches.
I took my thumb drive to get jaws 64 bit binary over to set up there, and
when it was done installing, I went to authorize it, using the txt file I
copied along with the binary. But when I opened that file in notepad on the
new machine, it showed no text.
So does this mean data also needs to be updated to work on 64 bits? This
seems ridiculous to me, as so much depends on exchanging character data.
Anyway, anyone please enlighten.
I'm also kind of annoyed at the amount of typing I have to do to get windows
to shutdown on windows7. Is there an easy shortcut to get to the shutdown
button on the desktop? I have tabbed and arrowed but haven't encountered it.
Other than that I am liking the layout.
