Hi, the answer is no. first Linux will not work with window-eyes. It is not windows so it is not going to work. There are screen readers for Linux. That being said you are going to have quite the learning curve if you switch operating systems. If you like your old laptop and want to give it a refresh I would urge you to give windows 8 a try. There is somewhat of a learning curve but it really is a great operating system when you get used to it. I have tried it using nvda jaws and window-eyes and right now window-eyes is leading the pack here. I am quite impressed with how well window-eyes is working with windows 8. For those who think windows 8 is just for touch I want to tell you it works great for keyboard users and if you are using window-eyes you can't help but love the support gw micro has put in.

Hi all, I was so fed up with my old 32 bit laptop running Vista and WE 7l, I bought a much better laptop and am running Windows 7 Pro. I am much happier. Still, I would like to use my old 32 bit laptop, and I'm wondering if anyone is happy with using Linux and WE 7.5.4.1. Any information re compatability and accessability between Linux and Window Eyes will be appreciated. Also any information about Linux with popular Window programs like WordPerfect, Quickbooks, Itunes, and internet browsers would be appreciated. Thank you!
