Hi
I have just installed XP on my iMac along with Jaws 7.1 and an alva
544 braille display. (why do I feel so unclean ?)It runs fast, very
fast but I will have to see how well it continues to go. I have even
experienced the ultimate windows experience, managed to get it to
blue screen when I tried to access the inbuilt camera (I do these
silly things as I am sighted) I must say though at first impression
things seem to be running really well (for windows that is)
The dual booting startup may be a problem though, I couldnt get it to
speak (not a surprise really as there is no OS loaded at that point)
so picking the startup drive in system preferences and rebooting may
be the only viable option.
I believe this will convince a great many users, sighted and vision
impaired to risk the move to Apple, which can only be a good thing,
after all once the users experience OSX i doubt they will want to run
XP if it can be avoided. I for one will be scrapping my Windows PC at
home now.
