Actually, this is correct what FS is doing. If MS is asking us to pay more for "professional" features of Windows, why should FS not follow suit? There are no differences between standard and professional, however you can at least authorize JAWS on any supported version of Windows. Also you can buy add-ons like Remote Access and the new Tandem Direct.

Subject: Jaws Standard/professional


Hi all.
I have used Jaws Standard since version 6 and it has worked with all Windows 
software.  And, having trouble with Vista and IE8, have decided to go back
to XP.  The XP version I have is professional.



When I tried to download Jaws 10, which I had just paid £110 for an up
grade, it said it was incompatible. Having phoned FS I was informed I would 
need to pay another £169 for an upgrade to professional.



I asked what I was paying for, like what differences the professional
version had, but they were a bit uncertain. They merely said it would work 
with XP Pro.



Can anyone tell me why this is and what their reasons are?  Why are we
paying more for a professional version of Jaws, when it doesn't offer any
extras.



Any comments/thoughts would be appreciated.



Ron
