If you use VMware and the easy install feature, then providing you enter the
product key during the easy install part of the new virtual machine wizard
then yes it is possible to install 7 without sighted assistance.
Alternatively you can attempt to make an autounattend.xml, but this is time
consuming in my view and you have to know XML etc. Another alternative is to
first install XP or Vista then run the 7 setup from within Windows. Hope
this helps.

Hmm, it's ok under a VM but now I think it's time for the nativeness.
I'll think about it and thanks.

Chris, try running it through a VM, that way, you won't have to
sacrifice your working system.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Windows 7
Hi all,
What have been your experiences upgrading to Windows 7? I've currently
got Vista Ultimate on this laptop, but would like to try 7. I find this
decision difficult because I can't dual boot because Vista's disk
management won't let me shrink my C drive unless I shrink it to no more
than 700MB. Also, if I did upgrade, would you advise and actual upgrade
or a custom (clean) install. If the latter, how has hardware detection
been for you? Also, before the beta expires can I simply downgrade back
to Vista whilst I'm in Windows 7? Thanks in advance for any advice
regarding this.
