Well look at me. I've used 3 Windows PC's, used a 40-minute demo of Jaws with the first PC I bought, then bought Window-Eyes which I used for a few years, then went back to Jaws when I bought my 3rd PC, then used System Access for a bit before I decided I wanted to get a Mac because I was getting tired of piece of crap laptops freezing and crashing. So in my opinion, yeah, it's worth getting rid of Jaws and those other bloated Windows screenreaders because as David said, I get built-in accessibility out of the box without having to worry about my screenreader crapping out on me. And yeah, Windows is still popular in the work force but when I come home from dealing with crappy PC's at my work, I love working on my Mac and I thank god that Apple doesn't make the same mistakes as Microsoft.
