Hi Tony, XP Home is more stable than any previous 9X OS, and has been around for several years now so the bugs have been worked out. XP Pro is realy just for business or serious security reasons. Also, you need to have the more expensive - by $300 and more - Pro version of JAWS to operate on XP Pro. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tonysweeney" <tonysweeney1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "vics" <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 7:16 PM Subject: [vicsireland] XP Home & Pro Hi All, I am proposing a Windows upgrade and would like to know how stable is XP Home and XP professional, and how are they with Jaws 8? A work colleague in .I.T at work told me that XP Home is not always stable! How do other users of the product feel about the matter? All the best, Tony Sweeney.
