Well, I have to say Windows 8 prerelease is not accessible on the first screens of the installation under bootcamp.
VMWare Fusion 5 allows you to do an easy install, even with the iso images from MS. After the easy install, I was able to use Windows U to bring up the "Ease of Access" center and get Narrator started. I am going to try to get some sighted assistance to see if I can install Windows 8 prerelease under Bootcamp, and, I will report on at what point, if any, I was able to get Narrator to come up talking. It all depends on when Windows starts sound support, and, if they recognize my Mac Mini's sound hardware. On Aug 23, 2012, at 6:08 PM, "Daniel Miller" <[email protected]> wrote: > You're right.
