Hi, Agreed. For those users looking to upgrade to Windows 8 I found the Jaws 14 demo to be unsatisfactory compared to free solutions like NVDA which has continued to offer superior access to Windows 8 throughout the betas and now the stable releases. I don't think because Jaws is a poor product that should reflect upon Windows 8 because the access issues said people are experiences is their screen reader not the OS. Window-Eyes 8, for example, has far better support for Windows 8 than Jaws 14, and if people would compare screen readers more often they would see things like that.
