My biggest gripe with Mac OS and VO is web browsing. It’s awful compared to Windows with JAWS or NNVDA. It is the main reason I would seriously consider going back to Windows if/when it’s time to get a new laptop. I use DuckDuckGo as my browser now to get away from that annoying “Safari is Busy” message that cripples my productivity.
So I’m on the fence about switching back to Windows, but if VO on the Mac does not improve over time (and I doubt that it will) I might just flip a coin on the decision.

Are quite a few of you thinking of switching back to windows? Or are a lot of you overall still happy with the VoiceOver experience? I think I am mostly curious about this, because I have been talking about updating my MacBook Eyre. I guess part of me is beginning to wonder, should I get a Windows laptop instead? I would be very disappointed to spend $900 on a MacBook Air, and still have a lot of performance issues. What are your guises thoughts?
