Again, I agree with you that XP is better, and that most people will not
switch to Vista. I am one of those people who finds 98 to be excellent.
My point is, though, that JAWS is not the only one who does not support
XP 64-bit. Many driver manufacturers, along with software manufacturers
do not support 64-bit XP because the customer base for it just is not
there. The majority are using XP, and 32-bit XP at that.

Hi Nimer,
As a Matter of fact, I can name you several places that can give you
XP 64 bit edition, but that isn't the point.
Let's face it, most everyone is using XP, whether Microsoft decides to
continue support for it or not.
People will not make the move to Vista simply because Microsoft
decides to forego supporting it.
I know several people who still use 98, even though Microsoft doesn't
support it yet.
Granted, It makes better sense to go after the future market for a
product, but to completely forego the earlier market and just focusing
on the new market, would make a lot of people think twice before
buying that next version of Jaws.
At least, that's my take on it.
Yes, you don't have to completely support the XP edition with Jaws,
but at least put some support on there, for those die hard fans who
prefer to use it because of it's simplicity, and who don't have the
time or inclination to take on the new learning curve.
But again, just my opinion.
