In Finland we are quite satisfied with Lynx as a browser. The more you are integrated the more you need general solutions. At workplaces and schools if everybody uses windows programs it's very difficult to make something else. Terminal connections are not available in providers. Used browser have to support new and future availability features of publishing languages and run audio files, video files etc.
Motivation is central.
If you can do that in dos, why you should learn windows. Only if it can offer something better or new for you. Interesting that jaws is stable, with speech has been difficult. Maybe its more stable without brailline. Arla offers now lynx.
