The JAWS 4.51 patch contains fixes that we made in the 5.0 cycle that =
were
so important that we chose to release them to people with 4.51.  Thus, =
the
people who are using 4.51 can enjoy the fixes without buying the =
upgrade.

As a user, I can say, though, that upgrading to the 5.0 version is well
worthwhile.  In 5.0, JAWS has extended its lead in supporting the =
Internet
in every category: we are closer to 100% compliance with the WAI User =
Agent
Guidelines than any other screen reader, we have added a tremendously =
cool
feature called "placemarkers" which make navigating around web sites you =
use
frequently much more efficient and the new speech and sounds manager is =
a
great time saver as you can use your innate ability to multitask by =
hearing
less text but receiving the same level of information.

I am very proud of JAWS 5.0 and, as a user, really enjoy a lot of the =
new
features.
