Encore Viewer vs Encore Pro 2

I have read this whole thread and I've got some questions since I may wind up needing to switch from a ResMed S9 AutoSet with ResScan to a PR System One Bi-PAP.

1) Is the major difference between EncoreViewer and Encore Pro the fact that you can only get waveform data to show up in Encore Pro? I really like the flow data from my S9 and I'd hate to give it up.

2) There have been a number of comments about the difficulty of installing Encore Pro and getting it to run. Will it run on an XP? What additional things need to be installed in order to run Encore Pro and see the waveform data and save and print reports?

Thanks

From what I understand, this is true, but I have not personally used Pro.

If you don't get responses here, you could try posting a new thread, titling it something like Encore Pro and XP. But I hope you will get your answers here.
