[nfbcs] XP was Re: Running JAWS on Windows on a Mac - Issues?

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Yes, that does seem a little odd. What other machines do they have? Did they 
say anything about why XP would not work on other machines? Although it is 
from 2009, I have a computer that could run 64 bit windows, but I have it 
running 32 bit XP. I wonder if they meant that they could get Windows XP for 
the Mac but they could not get Windows XP for a PC. BTW, do people where you 
work use other versions of Windows?
