I understand that this is not a Windows group, but I wonder if Microsoft’s Windows in the Cloud Service could be a solution for those wanting to run Windows on the Mac.
I wonder how accessible this service would be using VoiceOver and Windows screen readers. Is this something Mac users who are visually impaired would welcome? I always prefer to keep the two operating systems separate.
