Quick question...Can I use a Windows keyboard along side my Mac and
expect it to work just as it normally would in Fusion as on a normal
Windows box? Also what problems if any should I look out for?

Not to be contrary, but I use Jaws with BootCamp and it works just
as well, if not better, than it has on my Windows machines. I
also, have never needed to write a Jaws script to do what I need. I
personally prefer jfw over Win Eyes as the former supports accessing
flash content on the web to a usable degree, which I need for my
work, whereas I've not been able to get any version of WE to do so.
Just my thoughts, and all the best to you in your decision!…
Have an awesome day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Depends on how you use a computer. If you don't mind spending a
lot of time learning a screenreader and you'll need a lot of macro
programing and such, then Jaws will do, but if you just want to
use Windows without a high learning curve for the screenreader,
Window-eyes is your best bet. Apparently it also depends on how
you are going to install Windows. Window-eyes will work well no
matter what you do, but Jaws seems to work best if you install
bootcamp. Not being a Jaws user I don't know why that is, but I
do see that they seem to have more problems with Fusion and
Parallels.

Hello,
I'm considering installing Windows on my Mac, as there are
certain applications that I need for work and that are not
compatible with VO. So, those of you who also use Windows, I
wonder if you can tell me about the screen reader that you use
with the Windows OS. Specifically, I would appreciate input about
the characteristics of your Windows screen reader that you like,
as well as about those that you dislike, such as how difficult it
is to learn, cost, compatability with the major Windows
applications, etc.
Thanks.
