Most of the blind Macintosh community uses VMWare Fusion. There are two other
readily available VM environments available both of which have some issues with
accessibility of the settings/configuration screens. They are Virtual Box which
is free and Parallel.
The major issue once the VM is started and running, is that Macintosh caps lock
key does not get transferred to the VM as anything but a toggle, so it can't be
used as a screen reader key. You can find solutions for that in the archives,
or just get a full keyboard.
Another option is to use bootcamp. Bootcamps advantages are that your Macintosh
and Windows environments are essentially isolated with each using its own
partition, the Windows environment has full access to the power of the system
and there is no intermediary between you and the Windows environment.
If you don't mind the 20 second shutdown / boot process of changing from
Windows to Macintosh and you have no need to have a the ability to cut from one
system and paste in the other, then bootcamp is your best solution.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
