If you have enough CPU power and disk space you can install Cygwin. I haven't used Jaws speech all that much but I'm pretty sure it works fairly well. The installer appears unusable at first glance but once you get the hang of it it's not a _total_ bust.

Check out www.cygwin.com. You can have a basic system (which is the way to start anyway) for a relatively small disk usage. It'll give you the command shell, some man pages and an editor or three (and a lot more too), and you can with some difficulty select additional packages to install later. And if you have a braille display, brltty under Cygwin works just as well as under Linux. Another nice thing is that you wouldn't have to reboot to use Windows programs and the screen reader would be the one you've been using in Windows.
