Fair enough, well that is likely a reason for me to possibly considder a mac
in the future, though I'll have to try windows 8 first.

Well, as Tom said, and I eluded to, there isn't really much to add. The
process for installing a VM, at least on Mac, is extremely simple for
anyone. It literally consists of these steps:
1. Install the VMWare Fusion app, which is 100% accessible.
2. Insert a Windows XP install disc and click to create a new VM.
3. Follow the prompts and type in the key for the Windows XP disc.
4. VMWare does all of the inaccessible Windows installation screens for
you, so you're done. install your screen reader and use Windows.
That's literally all there is to it. I've actually done this several times
already.

Hi josh.
I never said I would not! upgrade, only that I had looked at the pros and
cons and decided against it. Remember, my comments about the interface in
windows 7 do not just reflect the main start menue and windows explorer,
but also programs like outlook express, microsoft office etc, since in
windows 7 all of those things change. Also bare in mind these are not
based upon unwarrented assumptions, but on several hours spen looking
around a number of machines running windows 7. It is true I have not yet
tried windows 8, so my comments are mostly directed at windows 7 in
particular.
as far as virtual machines go, this is precisely why I suggest! people
put out more information. for a none programmer, running a virtual
machine is not such a simple matter at all, aprticularly without vision,
and though I have red articals on the subject nothing has looked symple
particularly when you cannot read the windows boot screen etc, hence my
original suggestion.
as to creating post xp games, well that would give a reason to upgrade,
though bare in mind there are so many negatives with windows 7 there
would need to be a lot of extremely good games to count the balance, ----
as indeed there are currently on Iphone.
