That's correct and I think the public data version of JAWS 9.0 will work even better with Vista. Thanks for Harish and Anshul for their inputs. But Harish, I am interested to know more about the pen drive being used as a memory ram - (The duel boot). Do all the pen drives work? Or do we need special ones? Do they require any additional software in order to use them this way? I am assuming that the pen drive should be empty for it's effective functioning as memory ram. right? Sorry for too many questions, but I am really trying to figure out these things before making an investment that can last at least for a few years.
