Thunder Screen Reader Free

[Allison Bloodworth]

Has anyone heard of this free screen reader? I'm not sure how much  
it's like JAWS or Window-Eyes, but if it's similar I wonder if it  
might be helpful for folks who want to do usability testing with  
screen readers but aren't able to get actual screen reader user  
participants (e.g. http://www.webaim.org/articles/ 
screenreader_testing/).
