[Nfbf-l] Jaws and Windows10 - Microsoft will be supporting Windows7 for at least ten years

[Jim Ellsworth]

Dear Alan and all,

While I cannot disclose a release date for when JAWS will begin supporting
Windows 10 I can say this.  If you look back at the history of when JAWS
would support the newest operating system from Microsoft you will see that
there has been support either from the very beginning when the new operating
system is released or very soon after.  So, what I am really saying here is
that it isn't going to take until 2018 for JAWS to support Windows 10.  I am
sure you will be very surprised as to how soon JAWS will support the new
Windows 10 operating system.

Thank you,
Jim Ellsworth

Dear Friends,
I just got this off another list.
It is good to know, so folks do not feel compelled to jump to Windows 10.
What a relief to know!

I asked blind services here in Florida about Windows 10 and they told me 
there are of course bugs, going to be bugs, things not working right and 
that  they have talked with Microsoft and they were told that Microsoft will

be  supporting Windows 7 for at least ten years, so not to worry about 
upgrading, since the state just bought new computers for thousands of blind 
in Florida all  Windows 7.  According to the blind service specialist they 
say Jaws won't  even have scripts for Windows 10 for at least three years. 
So the earliest  anyone using Jaws could upgrade shouldn't be until  2018.
this information, was found on MediaReq.

With Best Regards,
God Bless,
