No kidding, I've been wishing one of the screen readers jump the 64 bit world. Sadly, I can only predict this will likely be another 4 or 6 years down the road the way things are going. Since, I know the next Windows that is coming out late next year will still be 32 Bit and 64 bit again. What gets me, is a lot of Companies are switching to the 64 bit train, yet every screen readers is so far behind. And there isn't so much different between the two Version. Other then 64 Bit codeing and more ram and so forth. Lets see if I remember correctly the first 64 Bit XP came out in what 2004? It's been nearly 5 years and it's taking that long to make a screen reader work in 64 bit? I was kind of hoping 7.0 of window eyes would jump that bar and make FS fall way behind again as they did with vista coming out. Who knows maybe it's one of the surprise of 8.0?
Either way, I don't care so much to worry about it, since I'm happy with 32 bit at the moment, and only wish GW or somebody figure out how to make Windows Home Server Consul work for a screen reader as this is a windows product that is catching on like wild-fire as of late. Since I run one and love the heck out of it being able to have over 5 TB of redundant backup of everything and able to restore a computer over the network. Peace.

It also seems that these are the best price machines. I want to encourage GW to get going on supporting 64 bit OS. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
