Just what I wanted to hear. What is your problem with the internet?

Well, to say it's better is not a fair statement. Voice over, the screen
reader for the mac is very good! But it all depends on your preference.
I've been using a mac for about 2 months, and love it. The only down fall
for me is the internet
But that's all suppose to change with the release of lion today is suppose
to take care of all of that. With letter navigation on the web, and the
launch pad on the doc. I run windows virtually on my mac, but only do
that so I can still use the Microsoft suite, but use my mac for everything
else. I use my mac cold turkey for the first month so I could get use to
it all at once without trying to jump to windows when I got frustrated
with the mac. But I am not sorry I made the switch. The difference
between voice over and jaws is night and day. Voice over is a great
alternative, and will be equal to jaws one day, but in my opinion, it's
not quite there yet. Good luck

Does the screen reader that Mac uses, work better than jaws, or is just
as good, or not quite as good? I'm contemplating switching to a Mac, but
can see no point, if the screen reader, doesn't read the internet as
well, or anything else.
I also know, it's natural for one to defend their choice for things, but
objectively, does the screen reader work as well as jaws or better? And
if better, in what way?
