Now I am confused, if my upgrade or SMA takes me to version 8.0.2173 and its compatible with Vista isn't just a matter of me installing it and my license will be accepted??

You will have to purchase an additional SMA. This is a new spin FS introduced with VIsta.

You'll have to purchase an SMA in order to be able to use Vista and Jaws there. you can have anything that says Vista home with your license level.

As I'm wanting to buy a laptop or notebook and am only licensed for XP Home and this is my last upgrade of Jaws. Cheers, Jim
