Hi Mike,
I've been thinking the same thing.  I'll stick with XP until Microsoft drops 
support for it and then, I'll switch to Linux.  I know that there are a 
couple of speech output programs that work with the command shell of Linux, 
but is there any screen reading software for the various flavors of Windows 
like programs that run under Linux?
