Actually, 7 Pro and higher is the Pro OS for Windows 7. Vista; Vista Business and higher are the Pro OS's. For me as an amateur technician Pro OS's has me covered.

OK, the remote access I can understand. But charging to use a pro version of the OS - half the time the features that make the OS pro are not ones which the average joe blogs is going to use on a daily basis anyway! Andoften, machines with high tech specs will come with a Pro OS supplied. So,the user is penalised just for that? Also, what is a pro OS now anyway? One could say Vista Business or 7 Enterprise is a pro OS compared to Vista or 7 Home Premium, or is the pro just for the top version of the OS, i.e. Ultimate? _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

You can also buy add-ons like Remote Access and Tandem Direct, which, according to the documentation, cannot be bought using the standard license.----- Original Message ----- From: "Hussein Patwa" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 10:18 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations - Lightweight Notebook ComputersHi, What!

There is still the extrra charge for JAWS professional. The 32 and 64-bit versions come on the same dvd and the installer determines which is needed.

Window-Eyes and System Access don't care nowwhether you are 32 or 64 bit, it just all comes on the CD in the case of WE, and a download in the case of SA. It is only JFW that perpetuates this charging for your operating system type.

I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130 which has 2 GB of memory (and can take 1GB more), a 256 GB hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth and even a web cam, Windows 7 Premium, and weighs just over 3 pounds. And it cost just under £400 including VAT. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Denis Tocher Sent: 11 April 2010 20:47 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Recommendations - Lightweight Notebook Computers Hello All, Could anyone with experience of notebooks weighing a few pounds please recommend one? I possess a Samsung N120 and like it a lot but it is still too heavy for me to tote around and use on the lap for long. Presumably you have to sacrifice hard disk memory for the lower weight? Memory is important as I am a user of a number of client software programmes and Jaws etc. I would like a notebook to ensure the keys are large enough.
