6. What are the differences between the editions?

The Professional edition is the most complete and supports the largest, most complex models.  If you're serious about decision/risk analysis then this is the edition for you.

The Personal edition has almost all of the same features as the Professional Edition except that it limits the size of the models to 500 nodes (this is still a complex model).  There are other similar differences in the examples, submodels and graphs but the main reason to choose this edition is lower model complexity and the much cheaper price.

The Portfolio edition is identical to the Professional edition except that it can only open existing models and does not allow you to change the structure of the model.  You are able to change the data points but not how the nodes influence each other.  This edition is free and it is used to distribute expert knowledge.  Build a model that represents a decision process and then distribute that model ino the field.

7. What are the operating systems requirements?

iDecide runs on windows: Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT and XP.
