I haven't used it but that is supposed to be the gist of it. It emulates
the windows APIs (application programming interfaces) so that windows
apps can run without actually having windows installed. This is the idea
behind Crossover
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/
which is based on WINE. In theory then you have much less overhead since
they are just presenting Windows APIs and mapping them to OSX APIs
instead of emulating the entire OS. I suspect this method of emulation
would fail for voiceover or jaws since VO won't be able to access
windows apps (unless they are emulating MSAA, which I doubt) and Jaws
won't have a full screen to inject their video intercept and get their
fingers into. Crossover has a full demo if you want to give it a whirl.

Okay,
Anybody here ever heard of Wine? It's supposed to be a windows
imulater that lets you run windows software on a Mac without actually
installing windows. I believe that part of it involves Terminal work;
but, not sure. anybody know what I'm refering to; and, how accessible
it is?
