[blindlaw] Computers in the office

I know both work well with JAWS. If you haven't used 8 before, there are a
couple things to get used to involving the alternative tablet-oriented home
screen, but that really only causes a few minutes of confusion if you're not
expecting it. But there aren't any significant problems with 8.

The major advantage to me that Windows 8.1 has over 7 is 8 fixed all the
Bluetooth issues Windows 7 had, so I can use wireless headphones with no
problem, and setting up the connection is much easier.

Hi all,

Now that I've got my first job, I'm going to be getting a new computer. I've
got Jaws 16, and I'm wondering if I should get a windows 7 or 8. Everyone in
the office has an 8, but my boss says I should get what will work best for
me. I'll also be getting OpenBook and a flatbed scanner as we always scan
and upload documents. Which one do you guys suggest?
