Yes, I also have to run Win7 in a VM for several tasks, so the better terminal support and a good linux screenreader is not the only reason for VMware Fusion on my Mac OS host system :-). >> I use this aproach at the moment because of the mensioned problems with >> VO in the terminal, it works good for me, but ofcourse it would be >> better not to use a vm. > >Yes, unless you're doing it for other reasons of course.

Yes, I know of all that possebilities, but for me one reason to use Mac OS was that it is a stable and modern system with good screen reader support for the graphical environment, which is much better then the support for graphic mode in linux with gnome and orca. Aditionaly I hoped that also the terminal can be used without big problems, I'm administrating many linux systems in my job and I have to do many tasks via shell, but unfortunatly there are the problems we allready discussed before :-(. Better terminal support with VoiceOver would be great, then Mac OS would be the perfect system for my needs...
