Hi Philip, Well, its not that obscure as you might think. I happen to have three screen readers. Jaws 11, Window-Eyes 7.2, and NVDA 2010. I find that each screen reader has its own unique advantages/disadvantages and switch them depending on the project and/or application. I know a couple of other people with a similar setup.
For example, here in the USA on a job sight you are likely to end up with Jaws no questions asked just because it is Jaws. However, at home the person may have some other preference like Hal, Window-Eyes, NVDA, whatever. As a result it is becoming more common that there may be more than one screen reader on the system. Especially, with NVDA and System Access that don't cost a bloody fortune. With me I got Jaws through BSVI when I went to college since that is all they would buy, and I just purchased SMAs for it. However, years later I found I liked Window-Eyes better and licensed it. NVDA is free and that's how i got the three of them. Point being is it might not be that far a stretch to see more than one screen reader installed. Cheers!
