well I haven't upgraded myself and the main reason for that is my version
with jaws came out when windows 7 came out and I don't even know if it will
even work with newer versions of windows, although I haven't looked in to
it!! and I am in no position to pay for a upgrade yet.
so any way i will stick wiht windows 7 and jaws 12.0 for now. and will look
in to upgrading when I am forced to do so, and at this moment I am not even
sure I will stay with windos any way.
well just my thoughts for what iss worth cheers Joe
cheers Joe

Sounds to me, as if it is personal preference and we have some on one side
of the tracks who likes to have the latest updates, other reasons could be
the OS will only be supported for a certain period of time, which we have
like 5 years for windows 7.
I'm not speaking for others, so nobody attack me, I just upgraded to see
what the big woop was.
Personally, you made some good points.

Subject: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
Hi,
I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I
just have a question (with a lot of background first):
So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm doing
that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you should
use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in Windows
7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents.
(I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate
that Cortana is iffy at best.
So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to know
if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating system that
I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is that
Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where Windows 7 will
not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that should cause me to
want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't
fix it," apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users in
particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if it's just
something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if it will still
function.
P.S. Anybody on this list from Louisiana and thinking Cortana, as in mall?
