Microsoft was trying to get one program, all devices worked out, and it will work, if folks will start employing it more extensively. windows 8 works perfectly well with jaws 14, there is a whole yahoo group of us running testing and/or making notes on the OS. they took out the start menu, and replaced it with some other access method, but you can still bring up the list in its minimum, and there is a free application that will put the basic windows classic start menu back in windows 8. hope that covers it all well enough, inthane -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marilyn Walker Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 5:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Cost of upgrading jaws? 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.
