[nfbcs] jaws on virtual win10

[Christopher Chaltain]

It's been a while since I ran JAWS on Windows in a VM. I usually just 
use NVDA, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Note that you can 
resolve some performance issues by making sure your virtual machine has 
enough resources, especially RAM. I'm not sure how to do this with 
Virtual Box, but I've done this with VMware Player under Windows and Ubuntu.
