I am running IE7.0 with JAWS 7.10 and it works fine except certain minor issues. If you are running from your Desktop, then a word of caution: Since many of the computer venders in India give us the pirated copies of Windows, IE7 includes a feature called "fishing" that can gather information about your IP address and certain other info. Although they claim such collections to be anonymous, they can at any point use them against the unauthorized copies and henceforth it is a good idea to be careful before enabling this feature or similar ones.
