Just to throw in my experience with this update:
I updated my jaws 11 yesterday through the check for updates feature under
the help menu. The update went smoothly, my computer restarted with no
problem and seemed to be running well, so I shut it down for the night.
This morning, when I started it, jaws no longer spoke at the log on screen,
and when it finished booting up, JAWS said, "jaws for windows is ready,"
just like normal, but any key I pressed said "unknown function," and then
the function of the key. For example, if I pressed the down arrow key, jaws
said, " unknown function say next line." My laptop is virtually unusable
right now. Fortunately, I have a netbook to use, but I'm reluctant to run
the update on my netbook. I tried putting the jaws cd in my laptop to run a
repair, but it won't respond to any key commands. I can't shut jaws down
because it simply says "unknown function unloading jaws." I can't even shut
down my computer the proper way with the keyboard. All I can do is wait
until a sighted friend comes over later and hope my laptop will respond to
the touch pad. . . .
Maybe I should have run a repair before I updated my jaws, but I have never
had such a problem with an update before. If anyone has a suggestion,
please let me know. I suppose I will say to those who haven't run the
update yet, do so with caution.

As I said before, I have no problem with interim updates, in fact I
almost always do them, but I was reacting to the problems that people
were having in performing the update, which I had not been aware of with
previous updates.

Andy, the new update has a features that I like. It doesn't read the
first
sentence of a document or email more than once. It reads it like it
should
be read. Jim

I have not seen an official announcement concerning this update. What
does it give you that you don't already have?

Downloaded from the Check for Updates on the Help Menu in JAWS. It
installed
itself and all was done in about 3 minutes.
