Supposedly, the accessible Google site returns search results that are screen reader friendly, as compared with the regular Google site, which returns search results regardless of whether they are screen reader friendly. So it is the search resultsand not Google itself that are "accessible". BTW, I have no difficulty loading the accessible Google site on my XP system, although I prefer the regular Google site and simply skip the search results that JAWS can't handle.
