Hi Sieghard and list. I agree with you on using Skype 4.2 with Windows 7.
As for Skype Talking vs. scripts, I think the only thing the scripts can do
that Skype Talking can't, is helping JAWS users to navigate the Skype
Options dialog. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] What version to use with Windows 7
Hello,
Laurel asked what version of Skype to use with Windows7 and Jim answered
to
use version 3.6. I am actually not sure if you can use anything below
version 4 with Windows 7, but if you can I certainly would suggest 3.8
since
version 3.6 goes way back and 3.8 had significant improvements. In any
case,
I would recommend to go with the current download from the Skype website
which is version 4.2.0169. It works well with Doug's scripts and also with
Skype Talking and in my opinion there is not much point to stick with an
older piece of software on a Windows 7 machine and eventually you would
want
to upgrade, so you might as well learn it now since version 5 final
release
is probably not too far down the road.
In any case, I also wanted to ask a question and maybe this is for Doug to
answer. What exactly does Skype Talking do that the scripts won't do? Now
that Skypewatch works again, is it benefitial to run Skype Talking as well
and if I do run Skype Talking is there any need for the scripts?
Regards,
Sieghard
