Christian, thats the $1000000 question about whether VPC is accessible, and I can't answer it for sure. The latest version I tried was 6 i think, which was before Microsoft took over development, and from the brief glimpse I got VO seemed to handle things well enough. Whether its the same now I don't yet know, but someone else on the list has ordered a copy, and hopefully they'll keep us updated.
