women and men in salah - different or same???

[anonymous]

Assalaam alakum

I was on the islamonline site reading about the way women and men read their salah

It says there is a difference of opinion among scholers - some say women pray differently and some say men and women should pray the same based upon the hadith where the Profet (pease and blessings be upon him) said 'pray as you have seen me praying'

they say the second is the most correct view and that we should pray the same -

ive always orayed so that im concealed properly but now im not so sure as the hadith above doesnt say for men or for women so shouldnt we then be praying the same way????
