To clarify one point: the home versions of vista also have all "the
networking stuff", it's just that they are not designed to connect to a
window domain controller. This would never come up for a home user, but
could possibly come up for someone who wants to bring their home pc into
work and attach it to the work network in order to print.
Someone has pointed out that the home versions of vista don't come with
the full backup utility that the more expensive versions do (they come
with a limited backup utility).
Pointing out that you have to buy a more expensive version of jaws in
order to work with the higher end vista versions is a very good point,
and I don't know, if you already own jaws 9 home edition, if there's
even an upgrade path to allow you to upgrade it to the professional
version of jaws that you need.
Vista does have an upgrade path, built into itself, so you can start
with a cheaper version, and if you find you need some feature in the
more expensive versions, you can connect to the internet and upgrade it
at any time. This means anyone worried about the future doesn't have to
start out with an expensive business or ultimate edition.

Hello.
The differences in the vista versions are as follows. You have
Vista home basic which is the cheapest version of Windows and it does
not have the Aero interface, or a lot of the media stuff. Next there is
home premium which has everything included in home basic plus all the
media stuff and it would be the version recommended for most home users.
Then you move on to Windows Vista business which has all of the
networking features and business features however leaves off the home
features like the games as an example. Then you move on to Windows
Vista ultimate which is essentially Windows home premium and Windows
Vista business combined. The rest of your versions someone from a small
office workplace or home user in my opinion shouldn't even look at.
If you are buying a computer strictly for home use I would go
with Windows home premium which by the way the home version of Jaws for
Windows will work with. If you are using it strictly for business I
would go with Windows Vista business and if you are going to use it for
both I would go with Windows Vista ultimate edition.
The thing you need to watch out for is Jaws for Windows are no
other screen reader for that matter will run on a 64-bit operating
system. You need to make sure the operating system that you are getting
is a 32-bit operating system.
I hope this helps.
