Hi. I have tried vmware fusion with windows xp as a virtual machine with jaws 9 and it works very well. I can use jaws in widnows and voice over together but voice over takes control over some keys so to get most commands out of jaws I focused on the virtual machine and when it is running and jaws working I hit command-f5 and turned v o off. Doing so let me run jaws with the laptop layout and caps lock works as the jaws key for example. The only thing I can't get to work is some function keys like f11 and f12 so I can't bring up jaws systray dialog with jawskey + f11 for example. I'm only using this virtual machine for a few programs that don't exest on mac, for example echolink for hamradio. So I think it works very well with vmware fusion and voice over. The only thing I didn't manage to get working is ubuntu under vmware. Oh, forgot to say when you need voice over simply press command-f5 again. Hope that helps. You are welcome off list to me if you want to ask anything else. I'm not a mac guru but I more then happy to share my knowledge as far as I can. Regards Tony
