I have to wonder the same thing now. I don't think that used to be so much 
the case, but I do wonder if that's the case now. I know some of the 
programs I use I need jaws 6.2 or older because newer versions won't read 
the menus. Since most of that is ham radio related though, I just run 6.2 on 
the radio desk computer and leave it at that. Unfortunately, I'm one that 
likes to have the latest and greatest of everything, but I'm finding more 
and more lately, the latest isn't the greatest anymore.
