Hi. I have the new JAWS 5 beta, and it's very cool.

What are the two things you like about it most, and is there anything you don't like about it?

Did you have to get on a specialized group list to get that beta? How exactly are they working that?

Overall, I'm happy with the beta. I like the fact that you can put place markers on web pages, and the sound schemes are pretty cool.

On my system, the beta doesn't work with Visual Basic, Tree Views, most combo boxes, Microsoft word (not well anyway), Microsoft excel (won't read out formulas after they've been typed in). I'll reinstall the final release.

I've never used 5.0 but I've heard, it can suck at times
