Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching From XP To Windows7
Below are my opinions.
Don't switch to Windows 7. It's just a big hastle. I've had a Windows
7 machine for two months, and I still don't use it regularly. Keep
getting automatic updates if you must, but I believe that the XP
security risks are hiped by Microsoft to try to push people toward
more modern, bloated operating systems.
From my experience, you will see all sorts of error messages when
trying to
instal your favorite programs to Windows 7. Some programs you use
every day will no longer work, some not even in compatibility mode.
It seems to me that Windows 7 was not made for a power user but
radically simplified and coolized to simplify the computer at the
expense of efficiency.
For all around grunt work (sound management, music ripping, document
editing, PDF viewing), I'll put XP against Windows 7 any day.
