Hi Kevin,
In very simple terms, XP Professional is designed for high
security network systems which private users are most
unlikely to require. Such systems are used in commercial
companies where individual users are only allowed access to
specific areas of the system or network, usually determined
by their job specification.
Clearly you would not want an employee in the sales
department being able to access payroll records, for
example.
Consequently, JAWS absolutely MUST follow all security
measures of such a system.
Now in essence, there is only the security issue difference
between JAWS Standard and JAWS Professional. However the
higher cost also reflects the degree of supporting an XP
Professional user. As I dealer, I was initially somewhat
taken aback by this, but after 5 or 6 years of selling JAWS,
I can assure you that when an XP Professional support call
comes up, it isn't usually five minute call, and indeed some
cases can go on for days.
Nowadays, many schools, colleges and universities demand XP
Professional before they will allow students to access their
networks. However, for the private user, even with a small
home network, XP Home version is perfectly adequate.
That said, many of the more powerful PCs and laptops now
come with XP Professional as standard, simply because of
network capability demand.
George.
