For one thing, it supports a lot of the newer features and ways of programming or coding that are being used in many new sites. Also, there are things in windows 7 that JAWS 10 can't deal with and JAWS 11 can.
To me, the most important reason to keep a screen reader up to date is because we want to do what everybody else is doing, and if you stay with something old that can't access the new technologies that are being used in programs and on the web, then you are only holding yourself back. Staying with an older screen reader and wanting to do what others are doing with the new software is just like wanting to run windows 95 and trying to install new software. Basically it's to keep up with technology and to be more productive. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws 11 Hi, I was wondering, what is all of the excitement over jaws 11?
