The operation of a personal computer requires great peace of mind. (Paraphrased from Robert Pirsig.)

Anyone u$ing negative catch phra$e$ like Window$ or Do$ or Jaw$ won't get nowhere. Each computer system has weaknesses and strengths. Flexibility on the part of the user is a plus.

There's nothing wrong with the stability of a modern Windows system. I've had mine up for weeks, though I hate $pinning that fan for no purpo$e regardle$$ of which operating $y$tem i$ in u$e and tend to shut down my computer to $ave re$ource$.

I believe there are free antivirus programs under Windows; if one can't be found you're free to write your own. I know CLAM/AV is present under Cygwin though I know nothing about the package on either Fedora or Cygwin.

One can use Jaws instead of brltty in Cygwin, and there is an X component of Cygwin. Whether Jaws can deal with it in that environment I have no idea. There is allegedly a Windows version of X, and I think a few people have even used it. But remember that X has had its accessibility hooks for only about 20 years.
