Hi Alex,
So far aside from the little quirks I just wrote about, I really like
Windows 8 and notice no major differences as long as you don't mind the
file explorer thing popping up when you want to go anywhere and not
having the quicker ways to get there. That's why i put shortcuts to my
most visited places on my desktop. If you have any more questions or
comments, please feel free to write off list.

Hi David,
I'm using Win8 now and know what you mean
about it's similarity to 7. I just have one question and maybe I'm
missing something, so please correct me where needed? I've heard this
stuff about not having a start menu. What do you mean by that because
when I press my Windows key I get a start up list just like with the 7.
Oh, it's not exactly the same, but it mostly is and although it doesn't
say edit search or whatever it did in 7, if I just start typing what I
want as soon as I press the Windows key, it turns search on. I'm going
to try Outlook as I really don't like TB much because of issues. Really
wanted to use Windows Mail, but not since it won't echo anything when am
typing in a new message with JAWS or NVDA, I won't be using it and hope
that gets corrected with an update.

Hello;
Yes, I'm using windows8, on a duel boot, with windows 7,
However, I chose to use Microsoft outlook 2010.
Actually, windows 8 isn't really that difficult to use.
For many of the settings, you can setup the windows 8 machine, just like
windows 7.
The big difference is, there's no start menu.

Hi all,
I have JAWS 14 Pro and just got Windows 8 Pro. I don't want to and have
a few questions. Are there any Windows 8 users here? If so, do you use
the Windows mail program built in to it?
Thanks and sorry if this topic's been covered. I've been away for a bit.
Lisa
