That's confirmed, they just need to fix a few things such as the system
tray, selections in list views, getting text automatically spoken in certain
windows etc, and of course support for the new improved calculator as well
as any programs that they add or change. This is from my experience with the
release candidate and latest jaws version. However, some things that work
now might be broken by release time or some things that don't work now might
get fixed by ms or fs by October 22. But in terms of accessibility and
system stability/speed, windows 7 promises to be what vista wasn't, great!
Not saying that as soon as it comes out xp will disappear for daws or for
business use, but the transition is now looking more likely than it was with
Vista...
HTH, D!J!X!

From what I have read and from hwat i have heard from JFW users, Windos 7
will be a good option for us.

Phil,
Thank you so much for those articles. Although, I'm not outside the USA,
I like to keep up with these developments. I can't wait to see if Windows 7
will redeem Vista the way X.P. redeemed M.E.
Windows Vista, aka "mojave" "longhorn" et al., has a long and checkered
past and I have been lucky enough to be able to wait it out and jump the
gulf from X.P. directly to 7. I hope the wait hasn't been needless; if 7
bites the dust, I may have to just go back to Amiga Workbench and Fred Fish.
(Just kidding, but I may go Linux!)
-Andy

And it looks like Microsoft are having a bit of a spat with European
regulators which could result in us not being able to purchase a Windows
upgrade or, we could end up with a version of Windows in Europe that ships
without Internet Explorer. If you live in Europe then, you will want to
read this one:

Hmm, I wonder how much the OEM version will cost?
