Sir, I am using vista with jaws 8.0.2173 which is available on the freedom scientific web site from 21-06-07. Jaws is reading fine and it is going well with 1 g b of ram. The jaws is a demo version and the laptop needs to be restarted after every 40 minutes to keep jaws working. Also if you purchase a system loaded with vista then it becomes almost impossible to migrate back to xp as the drivers will not be there for the same. As vista is machine specific, it is hard to find drivers for xp. DELL was providing drivers for xp but I didn't switched to xp as DELL was saying that it is a possibility that some hardware will not work in xp and DELL will not be responsible for that. You can easily go in for vista as it is not at all bad. Don't put the anti virus to scan your system from start up as it will make it more slower.Some instructions are available on the freedom scientific web site to make changes in jaws with vista. You can also go through it after your purchase.

Hi Harish, the info about pen drive becoming useful in terms of memory is indeed a great info! and if memory can be expanded that way, then certainly do not mind migrating to vista. I should keep my laptop at least for the next four years and if necessary I can in fact expand the memory. So thanks for that great info and how about vista/JAWS combination? Are they easy to navigate around? Vetri. On 30/09/2007, Harish Kotian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Vetri > > 1 Check if suitable drivers are available for XP, even if you go Vista.
