[nabs-l] JAWS 11 vs. 12 with Windows 7

[Elizabeth]

Hello Arielle,

My sister has a laptop with JAWS 11 and Windows 7 installed on it that she 
lets me use from time to time. Since I am use to using Windows XP, I had 
some problems figuring out how to use the Windows 7 operating system, but I 
did not seem to encounter any problems as far as accessibility is concerned. 
I have never heard my sister complain about any accessibility problems 
either.

however, she has not upgraded to Internet Explorer 9, so I do not know how 
well this program works with JAWS 11.

Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
