I've seen people pick up jaws and use it for most if not all of what they want with no scripting what so ever.

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.
