Jaws 11 works with XP Home and Pro. I'm having no real problems with the new version except that I can't get Research It to work on one of my PC's. Actually it works well on both machines except for the Bookshare function on the one using XP Home. I really like Research It. You can type in a zip or postal code, or a city and state in any country and get time or weather. And you can look up words and phrases in Wicationary or Wikapedia. I'm having a lot of fun with it. There's a stock market item in there, and some sports things you can do with it. If you are able to upgrade in the future, you will like it I think. Lois Goodine.
