http://review.zdnet.com/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking_Preferred_9 /4505-3528_16-31988682.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=MR_Software Dragon 9 runs only on Windows XP or 2000 SP4 or higher, so Mac users are out of luck, and it requires 512MB of RAM and 1GB of free hard drive space. (Attempting to run Dragon with less RAM will result in a sluggish system, as we discovered in our tests on several computers.) We tested the $149 Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 9. Home users who don't need support for mobile devices can opt for the $99 Standard. Offices that want to run Dragon on a network should choose Professional. Legal and Medical editions are also available.

Hello, between both editions is no difference in functinality. The difference is in the number of cameras and lenses which are supported in either edition. If you camera is on the list of supported optical modules in the Standard edition, you should be fine with it. To make sure that your equipment is supported, please check in advance on the DxO website: http://www.dxo.com/intl/photography/dxo-optics-pro/supported-equipment With kind regards, Heike Precht Support Team DxO Labs

To quote eHow: "The key difference between the Service Desk Edition and Standard Edition of Microsoft Office is packaging. The Service Desk Edition is sold in a plastic case similar to a DVD case, while the Standard Edition is sold in a cardboard box. The smaller case allows retailers to hang these editions from a peg at their service desks in order to advertise upgrades of Microsoft Office."

good question. I got brown and I didn't see an option to choose a preference on any of the websites that I perused. apparently it's what ever they grab.

There is no difference. They both have the same keys, I use the Business one at work and I dont see any difference.

I'm not certain that it is sir. I've used both and I'd say go with what the game recommends. For any normal day to day computer usage they'll both just sit idle if you know what I mean.

The Control Panel says the Windows edition is "Windows 8", so I guess it is Standard. -Ken

The frame on the special edition is black. All of the metal pieces are black instead of silver. The regular frame is silver metal on the standard edition. Slight difference. Love mine though and glad I went with the special edition versus the standard!

The main difference between Essential and Home, Office, Premium, etc are the connectivity options (e.g. USB2, firewire, etc). For a full breakdown of the options and their differences, see: http://www.wdmybook.com/en/editions/If you mean the difference between 1st and 2nd Essential Editions (smaller, lighter, no on/off switch, auto power on/off, etc), see this excellent review: http://www.amazon.com/review/RDNCGQ3WR72U6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permI think I'm going to wait to get a 2nd Edition Essential as I've read too many HDD failure stories with the 1st edition which I'm hoping has been corrected with the 2nd edition.

Hi Lynne, I believe it has to do with what comes with the printer. The printer is the same either way, but Signature Worthy Edition includes a nice assortment of fine art papers and maybe something else. I am not sure since I ordered the Standard Edition, but that is what I heard. I had the same question when I ordered. I was okay with the Standard Edition provided the printer was the same, and I understand it is. ~Linda

Absolutely ! I'm not sure if you mean in addition to it so you can choose between 1 or the other, or if you mean to replace the original one, but they are exactly the same and interchangeable. I have both installed on my printer, one is set as the default (I keep scrap paper in that one) and when I want something printed on good clean both sides paper I select the other one. But you can load one with long paper and one with short or whatever combination you want, and set which one you use for most jobs as the default, then change the "Preference" on a particular print job when needed.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

I have had the "standard" MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for 3 years. In the bottom it shows v.1.0I just purchased the more expensive "Business" version. After carefully examining the new business version, I see NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. The other reviewer states the "X" key shows 'cut' on the same key but that is the SAME on my out standard keyboard. Additionally, the new 'business' version shows it is also v1.0This is another scam that Microsoft is pulling allowing them to charge about $10. extra from unsuspecting consumers.

I cant answer 100%, because I read in misc forums that new version uses same numbers as the old.What I can answer is "THIS version when I bought it, is not the new versions".

This may be better researched on Wikipedia but the short version is there is no difference (some older players had compatibility issues but they should all be gone by now...+R was usually more compatible with more systems) You can use these as video, music and data storage.

I was wondering the same thing. Obviously one difference is price, in which I'm going with the cheapest!

the one I am using is the new version. The new one has a plastic protective on the clickable area. Whereas the one one doesn't and "Application Switcher" button on top of the old version is black color.
