Hi,
I've been using vista for the past year and a half and it's been great.
There's some stuff to get used to, sure, but you get that with any new
version of windows. Some people just have it worse than others, not sure
why.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Windows Vista and Jaws?
Hi,
I have a question. My laptop recently broke, and I am trying to get a new
one. I have relized that most stuf is going towards windows vista, but I
have heard horror stories about jaws and windows vista. I have also heard
some bad stuff from a few sighted people about windows vista. However, to
get a laptop with xp on it as people have been sugesting to me costs like
$200 more then just purchasing a laptop with windows vista.
I know one person who has vista, and has had nothing but problems and
claims tha he can't even use his laptop because Vista is so bad. I have
jaws 10.0.512U and am not sure if that even works with vista. When I got
my jaws I didn't get an extra vista c.d. with it that they talk about in
the fs cast so I don't even know if I am upgraded to use vista.
I am very familear with xp, and am not just one of those go and check my
email people. I am on the computer all the time and am constantly doing
stuff such as browsing the web, syncing to my phone, putting stuff on my
ipod, etc.
Does anybody know anything about Windows Vista, and do you know if it is
still better to get xp? My mom said that it has to work because fs says it
does on there website, and she said that noone uses xp anymore and that it
is outdated and that xp is old and that's why it costs more if you want xp
on your computer instead of vista.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Sarah
