NVDA with Firefox works very well because Firefox exposes the HTML
semantics via accessibility APIs and NVDA makes use of of that.
JAWS also works well, but they don't always use the accessibility
information exposed by Firefox.

I think JAWS works better on IE as it hacks around some of IE's lack of
support by pulling information from the DOM, NVDA does less of this with IE.

For an overview of windows browsers current accessibility support for newer
HTML5 features take a look at http://www.html5accessibility.com/
