I agree with John, there are many users who would consider going over to
the Mac if VO was more JAWS like or at least to convince them - VO would
probably have to do what JFW does and then some. Aside from its direct
interaction with the OS its limitations with web browsing/application
support would deter people. However many JFW and other screen reader
users I know would be very interested in switching to VO and possibly
will in the future, but the consensus seems to be, whether true or not,
is that VO is not quite there yet. Though I know users who prefer the
'feel' of VO to JFW.  We will wait to see what Leopard delivers and take
it from there.

Thats a great idea and one I will consider getting together, seriously :)
