Well, if you want a method that will not require any sighted help,
then there is only one choice, go with fusion. From what I have heard,
parallels does not work with voice over, does anyone know how virtual
box works?

pod cast on blind cool tech about running windows on the mac, what
does everyone think? Well, some people think that since you can run
windows on the mac, that all the software developers will say
"Well, you can just install windows on the mac, so we're not going
to develop a separate mac version of our software." I don't think
this is going to happen though. The mac operating system does have
some advantages that windows can't touch.

Hi,
Personally I use 80% Windows under fusion and 20% Mac. I
absolutely love
this setup. I'm not really into the mac operating system apart
from the
fact that you can install leopard with speech and the couple of nice
programs I like to use such as Audio hijack and of course fusion.
I'm not
into this BS of such and such as better and it's a sin to do this,
I'm into
what works best for me and this combo does for sure.

Subject: fusion and boot camp
Hi everyone, well I did go ahead and purchase fusion, there are
times
when running windows XP on my mac does come in handy. Apparently,
from
what I have read in some mac forums, some people consider running
windows on the mac to be a major sin, I figure each has its
advantages, and when you say I'm only going to use this, or I'm only
going to use that, you limit yourself. Anyway, when using fusion, in
the windows device manager, and in the control panel, the sound card
shows up as a sound blaster pci, I was just wondering, what it shows
up as when using boot camp. Does the sound device have more
functionality in boot camp than in fusion? I would have rather used
boot camp honestly, but you need sighted assistance to install
windows, while I probably could have gotten sighted help, you can't
always assume that it will be available which is why I went with
fusion. I think it's actually quite responsive, for those who have
used fusion and boot camp, is there a big difference in speed?
