Subject: Re: Jaws version/edition
The differences are not in the functionality of Jaws but in the
functionality of the versions of Windows. The pro version allows access to
those versions of Windows with substantive networking capability.
The screens that Jaws interacts with are the same, Word for example uses the
same controls, menus and so on regardless of which version of Windows you
are running it under.
You pay even more if you are going to run Jaws from a network server
computer out onto client machines.
