Paralels is accessible now?

I haven't used audio in on VMWare but I know other devices seem to
be "passed through" to the VM such as USB devices. I have a USB key
for Jaws and that worked fine on Parallels. Obviously the audio out
and networking stuff also was shared fine. You'll still need an XP
installer disc to set things up. I haven't tried the converter to
make images from a PC. That seems kind of problematic because it
might include drivers for hardware that does not exist in the
virtual machine.

Oh neat! so if I got this program and put yahoo messenger on it
then the voice chat feature should work like it would on a normal
PC? because the mac version doesn't allow Voice chats in conference
mode. It only allows it in a single chat with someone.

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.

What exactly is this program? I've heard it mentioned here before.
