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.
