You can read an interesting comparison of how five Windows screen
readers work in relation to performing various tasks that take advantage
of ARIA using Firefox version 3.5 at
www.marcozehe.de/2009/07/01/the-wai-aria-windows-screen-reader-shootout. 
You should read the article to put this into context but the results
are:

Congratulations go to the NV Access team and their screen reader! In this WAI-ARIA
shootout, you scored 16 points.

Number 2 is JAWS by Freedom scientific, scoring a total of 12.5 points.
Window-Eyes by GW Micro is third with a total of 12.25 points.
Fourth place goes to Serotek with their System Access screen reader product line,
with a total of
4 points.
And SuperNova by Dolphin receives 3 points.
