I can very very! very! much second this opinion. I just installed Bootcamp
yesterday, and let me tell you what! I'm not gonna go into much about it
from the Windows side of things, as that's totally off topic, but! that
said, let me just say, I've installed JAWS, NVDA, Window-Eyes for Office,
and all of them are blazing! and I do mean, blazing! fast! Frankly, in many
ways, it actually makes using the few Windows based app I have to use for my
job very very enjoyable for a change.

Hi,
Not that I have a lot of personal experience with running Windows on the
Mac, but, from most things I’ve heard, Windows actually runs better, faster
and remains cleaner on a Mac than it does on a little cheap laptop that you
might get.

Hi guys.
I realize this is some extra money, but if I ever have to run Windows
because I really need a program I can’t get on the Mac, I have thought that
I would just spring for a little Windows laptop. I know you can put windows
on the Mac, but I have read a little about what some of you have done, and I
think that if ever have to do it, I would rather have a separate system
running the Windows program. I still have JAWS, and I could just update it.
The Mac and Windows computers can read files produced on the other one, so I
see no real advantage to mixing the systems. Maybe I am wrong about that,
but at this point, I’m going to stick with iWorks.

Hi John,
I have thought about that logic too because of the ability to obtain
Window-Eyes for free if one has a copy of either Office 2010 or 2013.
Let's see how this will pan out when the full version is release. However,
I'm not holding out that this minor inconvenience of not accessing the
edit field in word will be fix. :) It would be nice not to have to put
Windows on my Air in either BootCamp or in VM Ware. Take Care.

Nope. Microsoft did it again. They deliberately made all of the content
areas inaccessible. It can only be deliberate because this is how it was
in the last version and they got plenty of feedback from users. So, you
have to wonder if their is an altereor motive here at work, especially as
the iOS version is accessible.

Hello to the list.
I have just now downloaded and installed this Microsoft office for mac
2016 preview, and what a bitter disappointment this is so far.
Voiceover does not seem to read any of the text in my preliminary try
out of the Microsoft Word application, everything else seems to read
just fine.
I know it’s an early preview, but it’s still shocking and truly hideous
if Voiceover will not work with 2016 Office for mac.
