I'd say go ahead and go for windows 8. It works just fine for me. It's not hard to use it's just people don't like to work hard. I'm like that to some times to be honest. So I'm not really bashingthem. See what is hard wal what was kind of for me was that things aren;'t all where you know them to be. Some things work differently too. So yeah, it's not all that bad. The start screen, it's like a table. So, yeah. It's your choice in the end, but I would go for it if it were me. You're very wize to ask how it works. I applaud you. One shouldn't just fall for the it's hard to use with a screen reader thing so easily. One should ask "Oh is it r4eally?" Then you will see for your self. What others call hard maybe a peace of cake for you. Who knows?

I am trying to decide rather to go ahead and get a Windows 8 machine or try to find one with Windows 7. I am using JAWS 14, which does work with Windows 8. However, I have been told by some that Windows 8 is difficult to use with a screen reader. I am curious as to what kind of experience that list members have had using JAWS with Windows 8.
