Thanks Chris and John. It sounds like a very interesting
project if and when I get some extra time.

It would, but currently only for XP and earlier guests.
Vista and later guests; JAWS can't load the mirror driver
and if it does the machine crashes with a stop error. You
need to re-create the machine to get a working one going.

Thanks guys for the added illumination. I now have a much
better understanding. Will JAWS work in the Virtual
Machine platform?

Jacob is completely correct. But testing is only one
good example.
Software support departments, server farms, corporations
with legacy
applications, regular users wanting to try out different
operating
systems, and many other people find running Virtual
Machines
beneficial. I used a Virtual Machine to check out
certain aspects of
Windows 7. It will of course not have the same
performance as when
natively installed, but it does answer a lot of
questions. It is a no
risk way to check out a new version of Windows,
experiment with a new
configuration, or test drive Linux.

Means you can test software on a completely different
platform than
your normal configuration since as far as it's concerned
it will be
running on that virtual machine, and this means you can
do things
like configure virtual amounts of memory, processors and
their speed,
as well as other parts of hardware configuration, and
operating
systems etc. etc.
For example, if I wanted to make use of some software
for use on a
version of linux, I could run the virtual linux machine
within/from
my windows XP machine and still test it without having
to have a
separate machine to load with the linux operating system
as such, and
in terms of testing, you can also just close the virtual
machine
down, and go back to it's previous state and start off
all over
again, or use it to make changes temporarily, etc. etc.
Stay well

Chris,
Thanks for the definition. Unfortunately, it didn't
seem to clear
my confusion about it's practical application.

What exactly is Virtual machine? Thanks.

Why not test the upcoming VMware Player 3.0 (free)
and VMware
Workstation 7.0 (free for now, usually commercial).
These are
release candidates so there will be issues here and
there. The
beauty of VMware Player 3.0 is the ability to freely
create and
edit virtual machines. I've been testing it and, in
Player,
accessibility has been significantly improved. Go to
