This is true but the remote support is a $200.00 add-on to JAWS above the
cost of pro.

Hi All:
I know one difference between JAWS Standard and Professional. JAWS Pro
offers support for remote desktop connection, where you can remotely connect
to a computer and access it just as if you were sitting in front of it.
Remote Desktop Connection is only available in XP Pro, not XP Home. This is
not to be confused with Remote Assistant which is available on all versions
of Windows starting with XP.
As for why JAWS Standard won't work with XP Pro, if you don't want or need
the extra features I do not know.
Thanks,

That, in my very humble opinion, is still, to this day, a lousy excuse.
Just because someone else is doing it they should do it? Give me a cotton
pickin' break. Let's be real here. They're charging more for the so called
Pro version simply because they can, and people and the government continue
to pay the price.

Actually, this is correct what FS is doing. If MS is asking us to pay more
for "professional" features of Windows, why should FS not follow suit? There
are 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.
