Going to a big box store, that's the case. Many models through Dell can be had with XP or XP Pro. Refurbished computers can easily be found with all flavors of XP.

There may still be some XP machines out there, but they will be hard to find. A word of caution, spend a little extra money, and get a machine with something more than Vista home basic. The low end of Vista, has less than Xp home.

I'm considering buying a new computer, and I'm wondering what the advantages are of Vista over xp, other than maybe better security. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denny Huff Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 10:20 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Vista The latest version is, 8.0.2173 . I can't tell you anything about installing Vista since the machine I use Vista on came that way. I can tell you that Jaws works well with Vista though. The only problem I have had is with Office 2007 causing Jaws to lock up sometimes. But the Jaws dump command seems to fix that. The only drawback to Vista are the drivers for some of my peripheral products. But for the most part, I am beginning to like Vista, it's just a whole new learning process.

Khan Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 9:02 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Vista Hello Listers: I am one of those who joined the list after reading Dean Martineau's newsletter last week and I like what I have read so far. At present I am using JAWS 7.500 and on inquiring about how Vista works from a number of sources I am getting mixed signals, e.g., leave it alone for a while as there are a number of bugs which need to be fixed. Another comment I got was that when installing Vista sometimes the installation is aborted and the process needs to be restarted. The latest version of JAWS is 8.0.2317 (or is it "71"? and as your list appears to have quite a number of experts, please let me have the benefit of your advice and comments. Another thing: I hear that JAWS 9 is due some time this month. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you all.
