I am not that impressed with web anywhere. I would rather use NVDA and
firefox, or system access to go, as for other operating systems,
linux has the orca and speakup screen readers, and the mac has VoiceOver built 
into it.
Also I prefer NVDA rather than WebAnywhere, but perhaps WebAnywhere's greatest advantage could be its undependency on the platform used etc. But still nothing is as powerful as a locally installed or a portable screen reader like NVDA as long at it works, so I would only consider web-based screen readers as an alternative if nothing else like NVDA is available at the moment. But I am mostly moving around with one or two USB drives hanging around my neck, so if I would happen to need Web access from any computer without any screen reader, I may hope that my USB drive would fit in to that machine and work. Of course there is allways the little chance that the computer in question happens to be one from the time before any USB drives, but that chance may be considered very little. But the main thing here is that I am carrying NVD and another unmentioned screen reader allmost daily with me, and when somebody notices that I'm running a screen reader from a USB drive without installing anything to the machine they may be interested in the issue and ask for further information. And all that without any advertisement costs! Not so bad? No aggressive marketing at all!
