Give Virtual Box a try from www.VirtualBox.org. It's free, and the only
addon you need to install for Window-Eyes is the QT Support script from
Script Central. Note: read the virtual box documentation, or at the very
least the quick start guide before you start experimenting.

while, you end up with a rather cluttered PC. And, we still haven't
talked about the chances of getting spyware, adaware etc; even with
the best intentions on the downloads.
OK, on one place at the net, they did suggest, that you run a Virtual
Machine, in which you would do the 'testing' of the software. This
means, you would download, install, test and play, in the VM; leaving
your physical drive untouched. Then, if you want the software, or
whatever you have done in the VM, you could go agead and do a 'real
installation' on your physical drive. Yes, I do follow the idea, and
see the point in doing this. Then, only one big thing is left:
Is there any VM software out there, that is easy to download, install
and operate, with WE7? Anyone have a good one, that they have been
using, maybe some set file is needed, but best if the software works
straight out of the box. I do realize, that some mousing might be
needed, but at least accessible VM software is wanted. Good thing, if
it is in a price range, that won't rip your bank account totally
(freeware is of course always welcome :)
Thanks for all feedvback, and sorry if this got a bit technical for
some on the list!
