Hi Eleanor
XP Pro has additional networking and server capabilities, and many people
who are in employment need to use JAWS Pro because they have a Pro operating
system on their machine. It isn't any more stable than XP Home, it just has
more features for people who are on a network etc. For anyone like myself
who just wants to use it at home, then Home Premium is absolutely fine.
It's just advisable to be aware when you purchase a new machine or operating
system what JAWS Standard will and won't work with. Window-Eyes, on the
other hand, is one size fits all, so whatever your operating system, the
same version will run on it for no extra cost.
I hope that clarifies things for you and anyone else.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Very interesting indeed Jackie. I have XP Pro because someone told me it
was more stable than the Standard XP but on my machine with Windows 7, I do
not have the Pro but the standard or Home or whatever it is called.
