Vista and XP are still on the market; it's just XP that is hard to find these days unless you purchase either a machine with a Vista/XP downgrade disk or a netbook with XP preinstalled. If you do not wish to have the add-ons then all is well and JAWS runs fine without any of these add-ons.

Actually, the machine came installed with xp pro. And, when I purchased theJaws licence, I thought I purchased the use of speech software. What if I don't use Tandom Direct, what if I just want a computer to work normally?I have used various software to run my machine and never had a problem withJaws not installing. Windows xp is still on the market while Vista is not. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: 22 July 2009 23:09 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Jaws Standard/professional Actually, this is correct what FS is doing. If MS is asking us to pay morefor "professional" features of Windows, why should FS not follow suit? Thereare no differences between standard and professional, however you can at least authorize JAWS on any supported version of Windows. Also you can buy add-ons like Remote Access and the new Tandem Direct. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ron" <facup1927@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 10:59 PM To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Jaws Standard/professionalHi all. I have used Jaws Standard since version 6 and it has worked with all Windowssoftware. And, having trouble with Vista and IE8, have decided to go backto XP. The XP version I have is professional. When I tried to download Jaws 10, which I had just paid £110 for an up grade, it said it was incompatible. Having phoned FS I was informed I would need to pay another £169 for an upgrade to professional. I asked what I was paying for, like what differences the professional version had, but they were a bit uncertain. They merely said it would work with XP Pro. Can anyone tell me why this is and what their reasons are? Why are we paying more for a professional version of Jaws, when it doesn't offer any extras. Any comments/thoughts would be appreciated.
