with JAWS because it is the most used screen reader.
Get off your me soapbox. Jaws is not the most used. NVDA is taking over,
quite fast, and lots of people have totally switched to mac or Vinux

Lots of people means an insignifiant percent of users compared with the percent 
of Windows users.

Please don't use the lower Linux user percentage as an argument here. If you follow that path further, you would need to agree that it's only an "insignificant" percent of people who need a screen reader, so why bother?

Note carefully: I am *not* saying that one shouldn't bother about the "minority" of people who need accessibility, just that you can't use an argument that ignores another minority (Linux user) if you fight for your minority (and no, Linux isn't anymore a "freak-os". Several countries (getting more) have started to migrate governmental IT infrastructures to Linux, so if you mean it serious, you just need to care for their, possibly impaired, workers too.)


(Also please don't weigh my words to strong; I'm no native english speaker and my wording might be clumsy. Try to understand what I really wanted to say or ask back.)
