Well, if you want to look at it that way, Parallels must work, too. I mean, once your VM is running a screen reader, then the virtual machine will work for you. However, if you can't operate the virtual machine software to adjust preferences, attach/detach devices from the virtual machine, manage virtual machines, etc, then that is pretty inaccessible.
Glad that you can accomplish what you need with Virtual Box, but wouldn't want to imply that a blind user will be able to be independently successful with it.

I get assistance when configuring the vm's but apart from that it's very usable. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bryan Smart Sent: Sunday, 27 June 2010 6:11 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Running Windows Yep. VMWare Fusion is the only virtual machine software that works. Parallels and Virtual Box aren't accessible at all. Fusion costs about $80, unless they're running one of their frequent specials.
