Wow, this is a good thread! The other thing that should be considered is the
cost. I'd have to look it up, but I remember VMWare Fusion costing some
money. I believe it was somewhere around fifty bucks or so in USD. I don't
know if Bootcamp costs anything, being that its capabilities are built into
OSX as far as I know. I could be basse-ackwards on this, but that's what
I've heard.

I know that my Apple store would not assist you in installing windows.

Hi
I received my first Mac on Saturday. I have done a lot of studying and I
think I am quite proficient at the screen-reading with it.
However, I am very undecided about whether to use Windows with Bootcamp
or
with VMWare. For my work, I do need to use Windows. This is a high spec
machine so I wanted to take advantage of that. But I have some questions.
I like the idea of having VMWare, so I can "flick" between different
operating systems. However, precisely please what are the advantages of
running it in Bootcamp as opposed to a virtual machine? If I ran it as a
Virtual Machine, what disadvantages would I notice? For example, would
there
be any kind of delay when using a Windows screen-reader?
My other question relates to installing Windows. I've read a lot, and
there
does not seem to be an easy way described with complete accuracy as to
how
to install Windows without vision. This may seem like a strange question,
but if I booked an appointment at an Apple store to get some sighted
help,
is that good etiquette? Are they likely to say no because I need to
install
Windows?
I have the MacBook Pro, external keyboard and the Apple Superdrive which
I
could take along there.
Thank you for any help.
