So far as software is concerned I didn't want much in the way of pre-installed programs so the only thing right off the top I am going to un-install is office 2010 since I already own 2003.
Windows 7 pro, 6 GB of memory and something called an I5 processor which I am to understand is a new class from Intel. At the moment jaws 12 is the only item that has been installed and since it's in my kitchen it's not currently on the internet as I wanted a large area for us to work last evening. So far I'm please with the purchase and my wife was surprised how much I already knew about windows 7, but that was learned during tandem sessions working on other systems. Believe me though the road still stretches out ahead of me, I'm just hoping it won't be too ruff.

Just wondering how well all will play with JAWS after you get it all up and running?

I find it interesting that the desk top is in tab order among other things but so far nothing I can't handle. I did manage to get it in to classic mode with the address to show up in the title bar in windows explorer and to a large extent do the out of box experience with narrator on my own although not entirely. The only install so far is jaws 12, next I'll hook it to my network and install service pack 1 along with any other updates ETC.
