Martin,

i have the home version which costs a few hundred dollars less than the 
pro.  Yes, the pro version will work on any flavour of windows XP.  I 
have Windows XP Home.  Eleanor has mentioned here that she needed to pay 
quite a bit to upgrade her standard JAWS to the professional version. 
many people aren't happy with this practice by Freedom Scientific - of 
charging $300 more for the pro version, and then $85 or $100 for every 
JAWS pro version upgrade after that.  I think there are more details at 
www.fs.com/ and perhaps also at the Sight & Sound website: 
www.sightandsound.co.uk/

vista
i also have it on another pc which is windows xp and i have now 
installed it
on an old pc which has xp pro and it works fine on all three computers.
