Great, thanks for telling me that now. I was hoping to install boot camp on
my new mbp 13inch when it arrives in about a week.
So would I be better then using vm fusion or virtual box?
Or will windows 7 be fine in a bootcamp setup?

Hi, using Fusion you can now run it off of Boot camp. So you can have Fusion
and Boot cam n the same Mac now. Just thought I would pass this along.

Also, just to point this out, allow AppleScript seems to be an unnecessary
step, as it will just use your system speech preferences instead when speaking

That problem also happens with safari on snow leopard. What we found out

If you're planning to use Bootcamp, you'll probably need a sighted person

This is true you will need some vision around to do boot camp. But once you
get it done, you will be ok. It is a matter of choice and how much ram your

I don't think it is fair to compare Voiceover to Orca or NVDA.
Voiceover is a proprietary product, the other two are not. Orca runs
on Linux, on which none of the MS products are available. NVDA runs on
Windows and supports IE, Firefox, Outlook, Word and Excel. What else
do you need?
