Yes, Windows 8 is useable via keyboard. Retail stores are pushing Win 8,
but Windows 7 boxes are available on-line or probably upon request at other
retailers.
Windows 8 is not as easy to use in my opinion as Windows 7, and there are
still quite a few programs that don't work with Win 8 yet.

Marilyn,
there is still an alternative or keyboard interface with Windows8. As I
don't have Windows8, I'll let those who actually have windows8 comment
further.

Flor. what's the difference between windows 7 and 8? Someone told me
that 8
is a touch screen system? Is this true? Are vision impaired computer
users
being forced out of keyboard navigation eventually or what? Thanks for
any
info. Marilyn
ps I'm still using xp and hate to see it go.

: Hi Scott,
:
: On both counts: No. You can have Windows7 Home Edition (32-bit or
: 64-bit). All you'd need to do for the 64-bit Home edition would be to
: download the 64-bit Standard edition of JAWS from the FS Web site.
:
: However, Windows8 is now almost universally on sale. You'd probably
need
: to go online to buy Windows7. And, for Windows8, you will need JAWS14.
: (Again, Standard JAWS edition for Windows Home Edition.).)
