Depends on how you use a computer. If you don't mind spending a lot
of time learning a screenreader and you'll need a lot of macro
programing and such, then Jaws will do, but if you just want to use
Windows without a high learning curve for the screenreader, Window-
eyes is your best bet. Apparently it also depends on how you are
going to install Windows. Window-eyes will work well no matter what
you do, but Jaws seems to work best if you install bootcamp. Not
being a Jaws user I don't know why that is, but I do see that they
seem to have more problems with Fusion and Parallels.

Hello,
I'm considering installing Windows on my Mac, as there are certain
applications that I need for work and that are not compatible with
VO. So, those of you who also use Windows, I wonder if you can tell
me about the screen reader that you use with the Windows OS.
Specifically, I would appreciate input about the characteristics of
your Windows screen reader that you like, as well as about those
that you dislike, such as how difficult it is to learn, cost,
compatability with the major Windows applications, etc.
Thanks.
