Thanks for this, but to be honest I wasn't asking about the versions of windows as I understand how and why this is the way it is.


What I'm concerned about is the JAWS versions as I feel Freedom Scientific are taking advantage of the situation.

Can anyone honestly tell me what extra programming and development needs to go in to JAWS Pro that isn't in JAWS standard that would mean the standard version couldn't work with ultimate or any of the business versions.

A bit like Windows XP Home Edition and XP Media Centre Editions. There wasn't much there except the media centre part and that technicaly it was Windows Pro with the media centre edition.

In the list of updates for JAWS 9 or any of the others in recent years, has there been any mention of changes to the pro versions?

I'm just asking the question, not necessarily moaning about it! Just trying to understand!

Peter

It's a marketing thing. Microsoft thinks they were so successful with two versions of XP that they felt they should go and create even more versions of Vista. Obviously the business version is for professionals. This is why you must have JFW pro. The ultimate version has all of the business components to it, so this also needs a JFW pro license.

I'm glad I prepared myself for the future and went ahead and got JFW Pro.

HTH,
Blake

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
