Thanks Elf, I do it myself sometimes.
That one just seemed to go in different directions.

arg, no not at all

the blind have been in on the development of windows 8 most of the way along
and able to make suggestions to them about it.

yes, windows 8 has an extensive amount of touch screen usability, but it
also has a good keyboard input. 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

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.).)
