If you decided to re-partition your drive and create a dual-boot system where at boot-time you decide which OS to load, you will have to re-install Windows on the re-sized partition -- unless you use a partition manager like Partition Magic. Such a tool would allow you to re-size your Windows partition and create some free space without the need to reinstall. You'd then install linux in the free space. To get the Winodws boot-loaded to bootstrap the linux OS, you'll need to edit the boot.ini (?) file. (Google is your friend.)
If you end up re-partitiong without reinstalling, you should not experience any issues with Jaws. However, if you do have to re-install you will nuke Jaws and have to re-install Jaws. It would not invalidate your license but since it has wipped you installation and confuration of Jaws, it might be a pain getting it installed and reconfigured.

Hi All: I remember years ago there was zipspeak, but when I look at their page, mentions Matt Cambell, the version seems to be from 2000? So please tell me in 2009 what similar packages are available to run under windows vista?
You see they tell me that if I re-partission my drive it will nuke the jaws license? So I thought for the laptop maybe running something like zipspeak would be fine. Obviously years ago we ran Vocal-Eyes under windows, so seemingly this would still run as a concept.
As far as speech, I am happy with Eliquence, Dec-Talk, as well as some of the Sapi4-and-5 female voices
Thanks in advance
