Here's a quote from an article about Vista indirectly and IE 9 directly;
Google announced it has discontinued support for Internet Explorer 9 in
Google Apps, including its Business, Education, and Government editions.
Google says it has stopped all testing and engineering work related to
IE9, given that IE11 was released on October 17 along with Windows
8.1.This means that IE9 users who access Gmail and other Google Apps
services will be notified “within the next few weeks” that they need to
upgrade to a more modern browser. Google says this will either happen
through an in-product notification message or an interstitial page.
OK, what this means is that since Vista can't be upgraded beyond
Internet Exploder - I mean Explorer - 9 you'll have to rely on another
browser such as Firefox for accessing most anything related to Google.
If JAWs is giving trouble on other pages it may be because of Google
material such as ads or Google widgets on those pages, try them with
another browser to be sure.

No Microsoft garbage used here, sent by a very satisfied Linux-Mint
<http://www.linuxmint.com/> user (a former disgruntled Microsoft user).
You could check out Vinux, Linux for the visually impaired
<http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/>.
This email and any attachments are not virus scanned either, that's up
to you poor Microsoft users to deal with.
I'd rather be a wild and wacky Linux Penguin than a docile,
domesticated, Microsoft sheep.
