hello Danny,
What does it mean to say that we live in a postmodern and post-Christian
world and that this is why corporations have marketing practices with which
we don't agree? Please define both "post modern" and "post Christian," as
you mean them. If asking this is off topic, then so was making such a
statement.
thank you very much.

They tried, but I dug in my heels. In short they eventually compensated
with gift certificates after I told them they were no better than Gateway,
but I still have XP Pro and have to use the more expensive versionof JFW. I
learned to make sure the sales person is listening when I purchase anything
by phone now. if this is off topic I apologise. I hope I don't sound like
I am wining and complaining. I made a mistake by not making sure the sales
person was listening, and I learned a lesson, (1 mistake better cake).

A bit off topic but did they charge you for the XP Pro? If not, under
normal circumstances I'd be chuffed to bits with that outcome except for
having to buy JAWS Pro.

I bought a computer from Dell. I ordered XP and received XP Pro. Dell
would not acknowledge and correct the mistake, so I ended up having to buy
the jFW Pro version. What can I say except We live in a post modern and
post Christian world; consequently, its ethics, or the lack thereof,
(HoHum).

Peter,
Freedom Scientific has always had a standard and a pro version of JAWS,
and the only difference has been, and still is, in the authorization. For
the pro authorization and for an SMA you have to pay more.
I've never heard that FS has tried to justify this marketing strategy
publicly, and really they don't need to as long as it works for them. They
calculate that businesses who hire JAWS users and vocational rehab agencies
who purchase JAWS for clients who are going into employment will pay the
higher cost for the pro version of JAWS. GW Micro once had 2 versions of
Window-Eyes, but they now have only one version that works with all versions
of XP and Vista. Of course, the lower priced version of Window-Eyes was the
one that disappeared from the market. However, Window-Eyes still sells for
less than the pro version of JAWS. I haven't checked lately to find out the
cost of upgrading from the standard version of JAWS to the pro version, but
I'm sure it's cheaper than changing screen readers. So, if you want the
additional functionality that comes with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate,
you will just have to bite the bullet and pay the price.

Could someone tell me why we need to use JAWS pro for Vista business,
Ultimate etc.
The funtionality is no different in the way JAWS works with it or the
features other than more languages etc.
All I want is to be able to use the JAWS functionality I have now with
JAWS 9 standard on Vista Ultimate.
I'd love to discuss this so please all send your comments.
Peter
