Just a few questions:

- can you use Jaws in X? (probably not) but how about switching from 
Cygwin+brltty to W$+JFW: who's the braille driver then?

- is it safer than when running Window$ alone? or as unsecure as 
Window$ uses to be? (still need proprietary antivirus soft for ex.?)

- is it more stable than Window$ uses to be?
