# A couple of years ago, I suggested the nvda and the orca developers

Some things are already similar enough. But there's no way in this world
they can be exactly the same, as not only are the operating systems they
run on fundamentally different, but the core functionality is also as
fundamentally different. Orca has functions that NVDA does not have, and
NVDA by its nature has functions that Orca does not have. BTDubs, that
NVDA object navigation is for the birds. Just give me my Orca flat
review. It's much easier to navigate. And they can keep their virtual
buffering mess as well. Perhaps they do that because everyone else on
Windows does it, but it will thankfully never fly in Orca.
