This is a commercial program that emulates a PC. So it's a software
application into which you can load Linux, Windows or whatever a regular
hardware PC can do. When running Windows they install some add ons so
you can do things like cut and paste between the virtual PC and your Mac
apps and share folders/drives/devices between them. That said, as far as
VO is concerned, the virtual PC (usually called a virtual machine)
window is just a big bitmap image that happens to visually appear like
Windows XP or whatever you're running. So while VMWare's setup and
configuration is nice and VO compliant, you'll be reliant on the "guest
OS" for any accessibility inside the container. So you'll want Jaws or
WindowEyes installed if your going to put windows in your virtual
machine or Orca if you're running GNOME on Linux etc.
