If Window-eyes works for you, as it does for me on both my system at home and my system at the office, there is no need to buy JAWS. Personally, though I could probably afford it, I have more important things to do with the thousand and some odd bucks that I would need to purchase it. Personally, I am using Window-eyes for office and when it is no longer available, I will use NVDA if I can. Personally, I hope that there will be a JAWS for Office similar to the Window-eyes for Office. If I have to, though, I will bite the bullet and get JAWS.
