If you want to use 64-Bit operating systems then the only accessible
one's are Leopard on the Mac and various forms of LINUX, both of which
have absolutely nothing to do with Window-Eyes <smile>.

No kidding, I’ve been wishing one of the screen readers jump the 64

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.

In the market for a new computer and am finding that a lot of the
big box stores are selling the majority of their systems with Vista
64 bit. It also seems that these are the best price machines.
I want to encourage GW to get going on supporting 64 bit OS.
