Of course the other way of looking at this might be that FS are to be commended
for not charging a majority of users for features they don't need. Most people
don't need the pro features so to offer a discounted edition for them makes the
assistive technology more affordable.
Of course the pricing doesn't releally reflect this but it's a nice idea. I'll
get back in my box now.

Hi Hussein,
There is no difference in functionality, they just decide you should pay
more based on your operating system.
All the best

Hi,
What! Jaws charge for the pro version? Can anyone give a non-Jaws user a
quick rundown at what the Pro version contains that would cause someone to
want to fork out extra? Oh, and how much more?
Thanks.

I don't recall an extra charge for a 64-bit operating system as far as JAWS
is concerned. There is still the extrra charge for JAWS professional. The 32
and 64-bit versions come on the same dvd and the installer determines which
is needed.
