In defense of JAWS (something I rarely do), MS doesn't do a great job with 
Windows Server regarding traditional screen reader access and Macintosh is 
built atop of a BSD/Mach kernel which was the ancestral home of all of these 
server programs.  It's simply amazing, MS has done such a crappy job that we're 
using UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD/Mach kernels 30 years after their original release 
without a whole lot of serious changes under the hood.  Yup, Vista sent us back 
to the seventies to find an OS solution <grin>.

Happy Hacking,
