There are Startup Disk control panels for each system for selecting
which system to boot. You can also hold down the Option key at
startup and then use the arrow keys and Enter to select which system
you want to boo if you don't want to use the Startup Disk control
panel. While the second method doesn't support speech; there are
only two choices so it isn't too difficult to select the correct system.

did you get a chance to try swapping between operating systems? I was

that the
boot loader that Macs normally have that's brort up by holding down
the

From what I've read it does seem like even if this very first
screen doesn't
read you can just use the start-up disk panels in either windows
control
panel and or system preferences in OS X to pre choos which os you
want when
you next boot.

Subject: JAWS, WindowEyes and the Mac
Folks,
I've Just tried JAWS and WindowEyes on an Intel Mac that has had
W#indows XP Pro installed on it using Boot Camp. Both seem to work.
I would have performed more extensive testing, but a company has just
released a product that will alow Windows to run inside OS X. Once
that probram is installed and running; I'll try them runniung
under it.
