Hello Tristram,
One of my computers has XP home and it runs fine on Jaws 12 standard and
Jaws 8 standard, are you saying that, if my computer goes haywire and I need
to re install the operating system, my Jaws standard will no longer work? or
is it just when people downgrade to XP, because XP home is no longer
available as a new installation? Jaws is still the most used and versatile
screen reader, but I know of no other screen reader which distinguishes
between home and proffessional versions of Windows.
I am pleased that I purchased the dongle version of Jaws, this seems to be
more stress free than others, [famous last words].
Jim.

Anyone on VISTA is best advised to upgrade to Windows 7.0 wherever possible
rather than downgrade. If you get a Windows XP downgrade and you are a JAWS
standard user you WILL be in trouble as the downgrades are to Windows XP
Professional. In this context you are better off getting a Windows 7.0 Home
Premium.
Windows XP is really showing its age now, it is time where if it is at all
economically feasible to dump Windows XP and move on.

Darren.
That little extra price you mention is only £380. I am going from Jaws 10
home to Jaws 12 professional. £150 for the upgrade and the rest for
becoming a professional.
I am using exactly the same computer but changed operating systems for ease
of use. Went from Vista back to XP. Now I have to pay again for the right
to use it?
Why does the same software work fine in demo mode, regardless of what
licence you own?I can run my computer absolutely fine on demo mode, so what
am I paying for. regardless whether you own a Professional or Home licence?
Many Speech software users or blind people, do not have the luxury of being
able to use the various magnification software that everyone seems to rave
about. We are being charged for something invisible, unfair, and so on. Is
it your fault you need speech software and can't read the screen?
Best wishes to all.

It clarifies, but doesn't explain the differences you get for the extra
expense in Jaws.
For example, if you purchase something like Adobe Acrobat, you don't get
certain versions that will only run on XP home and more expensive ones that
will only run on XP Pro.
When you buy Acrobat it'll work on all versions of XP.
I had to upgrade my Jaws Standard few years ago because I purchased a
Windows Media Center computer, not realising that Jaws Standard wouldn't run
on it.
There is no extra functionality or feature set with jaws pro that I can see
that warrant the huge exptra price tag...what a pocket liner!
Cheers
Darren

JAWS professional can run on both Home Windows and Professional Windows
products. Conversely if you have a JAWS standard you may run on the Windows
Home products like XP Home but not on Windows XP Professional among other
Professional/Business versions of Windows.
Most new PCs and laptops will be shipped with Windows Home operating systems
so for most new user's domestic users this distinction should not be an
issue anymore as there is little reason other than feature set to have a
Professional operating system as an average user.
Frequently user's also get confused with Home/Student/Professional versions
of Microsoft Office. Let me make it clear that it does NOT matter which
edition of JAWS you have in this respect. You could be using Office
Ultimate with a JAWS standard license.
I hope that clarifies some points.
