Might not be a bad idea. I use NVDA full time, but Window-Eyes is just as good. So is JAWS, but lately it has been crippled with lots of bugs, some that I've not necessarily experienced, but still, it's a shocker. Just my £0.02 worth.

Yes. The standard version of JAWS only operates on the simplest versions of each new Operating System. For example, the standard version of JAWS 8, which I am still using, will only run on Windows XP Home. The professional version of JAWS 8 would have ran with any version of Windows XP. Given how far behind I am on the upgrades it is unlikely I will upgrade any time soon. I have actually been seriously considering Window Eyes to avoid the constant nagging to reauthorize my version of JAWS every time I change something on my computer.

However I think the difference between the home and pro versions is dictated by the operating system, isn't it? I'm thinking that the pro version is required if you use XP Pro. Not sure whether there is a similar dichotomy for Windows 7 and its versions.

Rediculus considering the fact that there is really no difference except that you could get a lisonce for remote access to other computers or a server. This ofcorse brings up a question, Why not just have one lisence for all versions of jaws and then the remote access would be there if you ever needed it any how. Just my thoughts.

It really hurts to think that some folks haven't upgraded since JAWS 7 and probably won't ever upgrade again without putting a new mortgage on their home. But seriously, since it's been so long since I actually purchased my first copy of JAWS, what is the starting price for JAWS Pro, for a completely new purchaser? Isn't it around the $800 mark?
