I decided to go for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. There were 2 features I thought I might use which is not available in Home Premium: Dynamic disk volumes and the XP virtual machine feature which allows to run software in native XP.
After thinking over I decided that I would never need a RAID and dynamic disk setup on my workstation and probably never need the XP VM feature of Windows 7 Professional. So far so good! I'm happy with just using standard partitions (called basic disks) and I've never missed XP. All software I use is working perfectly on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of tim Sent: 15. mai 2010 02:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] 64 bit computer That is the $200 question?
