It won't work on other OS's because it requires Windows Script Host and VBS to run.

Why doesn't it work? What do you expect it to do?

This is why I use espeak for making my computer talk. Oh man, I did some horrible things with that when I had a roommate. Hooray for SSHing home to torment everyone from a safe location. :D

They're still versions of Windows, so it should work; WSH and VBS support have been part of Windows going back to at least Windows 98, though the Narrator component only went standard in XP I believe.
