Doug - here's my findings so far with Fusion.
I was able to install the freedom scientific video intercept running xp
under Fusion, but here's the catch. I had to have a separate virtual machine
from my bootcamp partition, which means using 2 of your Jaws activations if
you want the native performance of bootcamp and also the option of
virtualisation if you're in a hurry to get to windows, though I wonder why
you would be haha. I'm not sure if that's totally legal under the jaws ULA,
and frankly for me the extra effort keeping everything tidy and files
viewable to all 3 OS's just wasn't worth the headache, so now I just use
bootcamp for my diminishing windows needs.
The Fusion route is doable, just might take a bit of thinking and tinkering
before you get your system exactly how you want it, and if you didn't want
bootcamp too things would be a lot simpler. I did notice a few keyboard
issues with Jaws, and until you enable the Vmware makeshift 3d graphics
acceleration thingy in the settings for the virtual machine there were a few
things that didn't read such as tab controls.
Anyone who's wondering about this stuff who already owns a windows licence,
I'd really recommend downloading the 30 day evaluation of Fusion to see if
it works for you or not, it's the best way to tell.
hope that helps
Scott

Hi,
Parallels and jAWS does not interact correctly. Parallels emulates
an grafphic device driver. This driver could not be removed, so
JAWS can not install its own special driver.
