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!

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.
