The Jawskey assignment is the biggest difference, here's a snip from the JFW help system:

"JAWS Key

With most commands, JAWS uses the INSERT key as a "modifier" key. INSERT is pressed in combination with other keys to activate commands. JAWS now lets you
choose which key to use for this modifier, which we call the JAWS Key. The keys available to use are:
List of 3 items
? INSERT
? CAPS LOCK
? SCROLL LOCK
list end


By default, the INSERT key is set as the JAWS Key in the Desktop keyboard layout, and the CAPS LOCK key is set as the JAWS key in the Laptop keyboard layout.
So you can change the JAWS Key in two ways. Change to a different keyboard layout, or change which JAWS key is assigned in a keyboard layout.


Changing the Keyboard Layout

To change the keyboard layout, from the JAWS application window, press ALT+O to open the Options menu and pres ENTER to open the Basic Settings dialog.
TAB to the Keyboard Layout combo box and use the arrow keys to select the layout you wish to use.


Assigning a Different JAWS Key

To change the key used as the JAWS key for the active keyboard layout:
List of 4 items
1. From the JAWS application window, press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu.
2. Select Configuration Manager and press ENTER.
3. Press ALT+S, K to open Keyboard options.
4. TAB to the JAWS Key radio buttons and select the key you want to use as the modifier key for the active keyboard layout.
list end

Thanks John,
A second question.
What's the difference between the classic laptop layout and laptop layout?
