Jaws has enough problems in XP-32 that a jump to the 64 bit architecture would create more problems then it would solve. My question is how much third party support is out there for the 64 bit windows operating system and how accessible will it be?

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.
