The reason you were told that by FS is because Windows Media Center is basically Windows XP Pro with additional stuff added specifically designed to handle multi-media. The standard version of JFW does not work with Windows XP Pro. You have to pay for an upgrade to the professional version of JFW if you want to be able to use Windows XP Pro. This is not the case with Window Eyes.

Subject: Re: XP Media center with screen readers? Hi Andy, My wife and I passed up a deal on a Dell Inspiron 6000 becaused the Dell company insisted we had to accept XP Media Center as our operating system. After checking with Freedom Scientific, we were informed that we should stick with XP Home because Media Center is not fully compatible with the standard version of Jaws. We selected an HP notebook instead and we are glad we did. Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
