I have Windows 2000 Professional installed on my iMac, using Fusion.
There is a listing of Windows editions, supported by Fusion, ranging
from Windows 3.1 to Vista. I would check it out thoroughly before you
install a particular operating system.

I realize this is quite a bit off topic, but it would be neat to
muck about with Solaris under Fusion, but unfortunately it wouldn't
be very accessible other than using Ssh. Of course it would be neat
to do this with the Mac OS as well, but not sure how easy that would
be.

Everett, I've only had experience with XP but I'd assume that the
other Windows flavors would be as accessibly installed.
and, I believe Chris and Greg have already answered you in regard
to Ubuntu and Solaris.
HOpe all is well with you / yours! Have a lovely day!…

Good afternoon,
Does Fusion support any other operating system installs as
accessibly?
Thanks,
Everett

Hi Everett, yes, a VI user can simply enter their name / Windows
Activation Code and Fusion will essentially take care of the rest.

Good morning,
Are you saying that a completely blind user can virtualize
Windows XP on their own, using Voiceover, without needing
assistance with the installation of XP?
Thanks,
Everett

when you enter your name and your product key it installs
everything for you in the propper place
what you do is you can set up how large you want your windows
hard drive i.e. a section of the macintosh hard drive to be,
and then the program install windows for you and comes up
talking with narrator if you wish when you press the command
key to the left of the space bar, with U.
you can remap some of the keys but in general xp works great
under fusion. there is I believe a trial of the fusion program

Good morning William,
Can you please explain what you mean by "with Fusion you can
setup Windows XP automatically"? How automatic is it?
Thanks,
Everett

fusion works great
there are others though such parallels but I do not know the
usability of parallels since last I heard the interface was
inaccessible to voice over users
with fusion one can set up windows xp automatically and this
is extremel simple to achieve.
The other system I believe is virtual box, which runs under
mac os x now, though I don't believe it is as fully-
featured as Fusion from VMware or parallels

Good morning,
Can anyone give a list of the virtualization platforms that
they know to work well under Leopard with Voiceover? I am
used to using VirtualBox under Windows XP.
Thanks,
Everett
