I can confirm this as I made enquiries as to the fact recently and was told just as George stated from a dealer (Not Site & Sound).

Would you happen to know who it was you spoke to at Sight and Sound? The statement made above is complete balderdash. JAWS Professional works perfectly well with XP Home. However JAWS Standard will not work with XP Professional. I am happy to stake my reputation on this. George. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Colin Baxter Sent: 18 December 2006 20:10 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Upgrade Hi again all, And this is another thing that annoyed me. I currently have Jaws Professional, which I no longer need. I was told by S and S that I could not upgrade to the next version of Jaws Standard, but would have to start with a new full-priced version. I was also told that, in any case, my Jaws Professional would not work with my XP Home, so that was another reason why I needed to start from scratch. I must say that I've had XP Home since it was first launched and until I was daft enough to download Jaws 7.1, I never had any major problems. Perhaps it's time that more of us started voting with our feet.

If you go from version 6 to version 8 you also have to pay for version 7 which you are missing out. That is why the SMA system is probably the best option. The cost also depends on whether you have standard or professional Jaws. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

I've been using JAWS for about 15 years and to me it does sound rather expensive, given that I am currently paying S&S about =A3100 a year for upgrades. . What exactly would I gain for almost =A3200? If I wait until version 10 or over, for instance , it may prove less expensive. Come on guys. Is it really worth =A3200? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Wilson" <barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 4:09 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Upgrade > It sounds rather cheap to me. > > > Barbara Wilson > Email: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > MSN: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Mobile: 07917710779 > Donate to Guide Dogs at: > www.justgiving.com/cyder > > -----Original Message----- > From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andy Logue > Sent: 18 December 2006 16:08 > To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [jaws-uk] Upgrade > > > Hi all. > > I was thinking of upgrading from JAWS 6.0 to JAWS version 8 and telephoned > Sight and Sound for a price and was quoted =A3190.
