Alex,
Your late night expressions are sensational.
That made perfect sense to me.
Thanks for the distention between boot camp, not right for this
hypothetical discussion, and a true virtual environment which seems
preferable.
I dare say as with everything computer people have their personal
favorites...those who still do this of course.
Does apple have a favorite? A virtual tool they recommend or include in
their offerings? If not just how is this done?
Thanks again Alex,
Kare

Bootcamp is where you can choose to boot the computer into OSX or Windows. A virtual machine is
where you boot into OSX, then run a copy of Windows or Linux inside a virtual machine
application like Virtual Box, Parallels, or Fusion. The advantage of the latter is that, to the
mac, Windows is just another running application, so you can switch into and out of it and keep
using your mac apps even as you use Windows. To Windows (or whatever OS is running virtually),
though, you are booted into a normal computer. That is, the virtual OS has no clue it is
virtual, since the virtual machine application is basically providing a "computer"
built of software, tricking the OS into running normally. Sounds, keyboards, displays...
everything is provided by the mac hardware, but the virtual OS treats it like its own. I hope
that makes some sense - it's pretty late here, so I'm not sure how coherent my message will
look in the morning. <smile>

Hi folks,
The stuff that lands on my desk sometimes!
Anyway, I know some here run their mac in a virtual environment with another
operating system, Linux perhaps even windows.
I imagine for this to work, you still use all mac hardware do you not? Say you
have a macbook, but you are running the virtual environment with xp. Its boot
camp, or is it something else?
and how do you swing the windows screen reader on the more superior mac laptop?
Same keyboard of course, but jaws will talk using the mac sound setup?
Correct my assumptions pleas as I may be wrong about how this works for you.
how if you were doing the easier thing then Linux, by running windows xp how
it would come together?
Thanks,
Karen
