The jaws program is no different whether you run it on xp home or pro;
what's different is that the authorization that turns it from a demo
into a fully functional program won't work for xp pro unless you have
purchased jaws pro. It's really nothing more than a more expensive
authorization.
There is also no advantage (or very little advantage) for a home owner
to ever own xp pro. However, if you had problems with the jaws demo on
xp pro, they won't go away just because you switch to xp home. They may
get better however if you upgrade to jaws professional version 6 (if you
want to keep the xp pro); version 6 may do a lot better than 4.51.
