Hello, My Fellow Windows 7 Early Adopters, 

While I am thoroughly enjoying using the new Windows 7 on my Netbook and providing feedback to Microsoft about my Windows 7 experience, I do not enjoy, especially as a JAWS screen-reader user, seeing/hearing the Feedback Edit Tool at the top of every Dialog Box.
