[nfbcs] Questions regarding JAWS and NVDA

[Christopher Chaltain]

IMHO, the key deciding factor on whether you can use NVDA in the work 
place or not is how it works with the desktop applications you need to 
use on your job. I prefer JAWS since I spend so much time in Outlook and 
Office. NVDA seems to have pretty good support for these applications, 
but some of the customizations I've come to rely on, such as setting up 
the automatic announcements of cells, is there in JAWS for sure.
