Hi Tim,
I'm really not great shakes with window-eyes, so there may be more issues
than the few I noticed. Keyboard support in fusion seemed like it was going
to hold me back at some point without some remapping, because even when you
grab input it doesn't seem to take over every key. It felt to me like the
performance of the machine lagged more running with Window-eyes than with
Jaws, which I really wasn't expecting and that was my biggest hangup. Other
than that I only noticed a few little quirks in how things were read,
similar to the tab control issue in Jaws with the vmware graphics.
Sorry this is all so vague man, I only got a quick look at the system with
window-eyes and I barely know how to use it. If you're a proper user, I
think it'd still be worth a go.
Scott

Interesting. You've tried out a lot of this stuff, so what did you find
that didn't work with Window-eyes? Just want to know only so I don't
waste my time doing something that has been tried already.

Sheryl,
I was looking for a similar article when I first received my mbp.
Found a load of comparrisons online between Paralels and Fusion, not
many of them geared towards accessibility yet, so in the end I just
tried out both. Between those two, I way prefered Fusion. We can read
all the settings for the virtual machines, the unattended install
generator is so handy (paralels does this too i believe but we
wouldn't be able to read enough of it to make use), and overall
performance seemed superior to me in Fusion. That said, neither system
played ball as well as bootcamp with Jaws Window-eyes or Supernova for
me, and the boot times are so short these days that I now just run
bootcamp. Simple but effective.
Would be very interested to hear experiences of crossover, anyone? I
haven't given up on the virtualisation idea, just not convinced I've
found the right product yet.

Has anybody done an article or a comparison of the pros and cons of all
these systems on the Mac with voiceover (crossover, fusion, parallels,
bootcamp) or do I just need to go through the archives and put the
information together from emails. I did google this and found some
information but not really the kind of comparison for which I was
looking.
