Hi Chris,

That's exactly what I said.  There is a standard and professional version.
Not so with WE or System Access.  So you don't buy one, and then get
clobbered just because you change your operating system.

All the best

Steve

Not quite true. You are only charged if you have a JAWS Standard license and

you wish to upgrade to professional, which supports the entire set of 
Windows operating systems, from XP Home 32 bit to 7 Ultimate 64 bit. 
Licensing of either platform can be done at no charge.
