Hi, in Fusion 2.0 does the converter to make an image from a
physical PC
come with Fusion 2 or do we have to buy it somewhere else?
Thanks

I haven't used audio in on VMWare but I know other devices seem to be
"passed through" to the VM such as USB devices. I have a USB key for
Jaws and that worked fine on Parallels. Obviously the audio out and
networking stuff also was shared fine. You'll still need an XP
installer
disc to set things up. I haven't tried the converter to make images
from
a PC. That seems kind of problematic because it might include drivers
for hardware that does not exist in the virtual machine.

Oh neat! so if I got this program and put yahoo messenger on it then
the voice chat feature should work like it would on a normal PC?
because the mac version doesn't allow Voice chats in conference
mode.
It only allows it in a single chat with someone.

This is a commercial program that emulates a PC. So it's a software
application into which you can load Linux, Windows or whatever a
regular hardware PC can do. When running Windows they install some
add ons so you can do things like cut and paste between the virtual
PC and your Mac apps and share folders/drives/devices between them.
That said, as far as VO is concerned, the virtual PC (usually
called
a virtual machine) window is just a big bitmap image that happens
to
visually appear like Windows XP or whatever you're running. So
while
VMWare's setup and configuration is nice and VO compliant, you'll
be
reliant on the "guest OS" for any accessibility inside the
container.
So you'll want Jaws or WindowEyes installed if your going to put
windows in your virtual machine or Orca if you're running GNOME on
Linux etc.
