JAWS in particular being the huge money pit.
I ditched JAWS when they accused me of trying to pirate their software
because I reverse-engineered part of their copy protection in order to
debug an incompatibility between it and the thinkpad floppy drive.
For those who haven't used Windows recently, Narrator is much muchbetter
than it used to be.
I think in Windows 8, I'd be willing to try Narrator as my primary
screen reader, and it looks like with Windows 10 it would be good enough
for what I'd want to do.
