Hi George,
That is why I believe that screen reader vendors shouldn't make you pay more
for pro versions of the operating system. Free Sci are the only company now
to do this.
All the best
Steve

Don't blame the screen reader guys. It's the retail shops who really
make more money selling Professional Versions of Windows.
For "Professional" you should really read, "Secure Business Network
User".
In the real world, there are very few private users need the extra
build-in security offered by Windows Professional, and even fewer
really understand what it is all about.
George.

OK, the remote access I can understand. But charging to use a pro
version
of the OS - half the time the features that make the OS pro are not
ones
which the average joe blogs is going to use on a daily basis anyway!
And
often, machines with high tech specs will come with a Pro OS supplied.
So,
the user is penalised just for that?
Also, what is a pro OS now anyway? One could say Vista Business or 7
Enterprise is a pro OS compared to Vista or 7 Home Premium, or is the
pro
just for the top version of the OS, i.e. Ultimate?

It just allows you to use the "pro" versions of the OS. You can also
buy
add-ons like Remote Access and Tandem Direct, which, according to the
documentation, cannot be bought using the standard license.
