Is choosing a screen reader that hard of a decision?

Hi all!
Today, I will tell you how you can decide if a screen reader is right for you.
First, I would suggest asking yourself, "Ok, what is it that I am going to be using the computer for?"
If you say, word processing, and writing emails, then the built in screen reader in windows called narator should be the one that would save you money.
This screen reader uses sappy, a speech engine made by
Microsoft corperation
However, if you tell yourself, "I want to do heavy web browsing, programming, etc, etc", then you may want to consider a screen reader with higher functionality such as
Window-eyes
a screen reader made by
Gw Micro, Inc
Another screen reader you might want to consider is
Jaws for Windows
made by
Freedom Scientific, Inc
A free, open source, screen reader is
N V D A
They all have there pros and cons, but you can download demos of each screen reader at there respective websites.
Also, there are several email lists out there that discuss screen readers.
A good source for finding email lists is
