I have been following this thread with a great deal of interest and I still haven't seen a compelling reason to upgrade to either Vista or Windows 7 from XP-Pro.

If you have acomputer that can barely handle xp, of course win 7 is not going to be faster. On the other hand win 7 will be much more of a power saver on laptops than vista ever was. chrissy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don and Cher Bosch Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question about windows 7 Read a well-documented article the other day which states that in bench mark tests, Windows 7 was much faster than VISTA but still slower than XP. The article also stated that you can expect a 30% more power drain- especially of interest to laptop users.

I would recommend JAWS 11 for use with Windows 7. It seems that most things work well with JAWS 10 also.
