Just out of curiosity, how responsive is fusion? I like the idea of running
windows on a virtual machine, but I am slightly worried about it being
sluggish especially with JAWS or Windoweyes.

Subject: Re: Cost of BootCamp
I did need sighted assistance. Or at least I used sighted assistance,
although I have a theory that you could do the bootcamp install with an
answer file. Then you would only need some one to click you through your
driver instalations.
I like fusion personally. After trying both rather extensively I found
advantages and disadvantages to both. The reason I ultimately went for
fusion was first a desire to run mac os for most of my day-to- day
computing and not to have to reboot to do some chore in windows,
Second, better file sharing between mac os and windows,
and third, a nice keybord driver in fusion that let me keep my number pad
on the right side of the keybord so I could use window-eyes.
Fusion costs $75. If you are on a tight bugget that might be a factor.

Before you start using Boot Camp, are you aware of Vmware Fusion?
Vmware Fusion allows you to run Windows in a virtual machine and you can
install it without sighted assistance. I believe you need sighted
assistance to install Windows under Boot Camp.

Hey there all,
I'm well on my way to switching to a mac and I think I've managed to
convince my girlfriend to do the same. As such, we will be definite
beginners. In order to switch from PC to Mac, I'm still going to be
running a copy of windows with bootCamp. I'm wondering first how well
this works? Second, how much does bootCamp run for? Finally, how hard
is it for a blind person to set up a windows installation with
bgootCamp? Thanks all for your help.
