I found that too. they really do. and I like that you really only need to know a few commands before you can pretty much use it. and it works the same in every program. you don't have to worry about routing the jaws cursor to the pc cursor in this or that place. even the voiceover cursor seems to make more sense than the jaws cursor. I've been really impressed over the past year!!! there are still a few things that windows handles better, but apple is really rising to the challenge and I can't even remember the last time I booted up my windows pc.
