I forgot to mention this and it is amazing. No other platform other than
some flavours of Linux provides a talking installer out of the box, and
even then you must ensure sound is properly working. Not the case with
Mac Os as it just works.

Hi Scott,
I have been using a mac for several years now and I find it to be much more
stable then windows. I can tello you that mac osx is a different animal when
it comes to interacting with it, but works and being that you can reinstall
the os without sited help makes it all worth while.

Hi Everyone,
As I said previously, I am thinking about getting a Mac and the main reason is
that I am tired of the increasing instability of the PC environment. My first
question is, is this really different on a Mac?
I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 8. Both are not all that stable. I have been
a JAWS user for 17 years and I have noticed a definite progressive increase in
instability with the last few releases. JAWS crashes frequently and, even if
it doesn't crash, it often stops talking when errors occur with other
applications. Then, there's Windows 8. I don't mind the Windows 8 interface
but several times per week, I will have a problem that requires me to restart
my computer. I did not have that nearly as much with Windows 7. Also, it
isn't unusual for me to install a program which will, either directly or
through add ins, make Windows and/or JAWS more unstable. I then have to decide
rather the additional functionality is worth the increased instability. I'm
just tired of all the crashes and reboots and having to use three or four
screen readers because I have to run one when another one crashes.
By contrast, my iPhone and iPad, while not perfect, are certainly more stable.
VoiceOver seldom just stops working. Of course, every single app is not
accessible and they do not all work correctly but any problems with an app are
almost always confined only to that app. When an app crashes, it usually does
not also cause VoiceOver or the device to crash. Is this also true of the Mac?
I have certainly used technology enough to know that none of it is perfect.
However, I would like something that is better than the PC, when it comes to
stability. Over all, in your experience, is the Mac more stable?
Thanks,
Scott Duck
