John, A very good point. I sometimes need to revert back to an older version of JAWS if the current one seems to misbehave. With Windows 10 we need to start with JAWS 16 and live with any limitations until the release of JAWS 17. And, yes, to another lister who suggested that it would be a good move on FS part to follow MS with a free upgrade to JAWS 17 with some proof that Windows 10 was installed. Why not make it a coincident upgrade program?
