Harry, I'm pretty sure you'll have to actually "install" windows during the
bootcamp process. Having it as a VMWare machine won't work for you there. I
went through the whole bootcamp thing yesterday and it worked great. Now,
I'm thinking of going the VMWare route. Can you tell me if it is easy to
install windows via VMWare without sighted assistance?
Is VO up and talking through the process?

Hi, that's good to know that it doesn't cost money. I don't regret using
VMware Fusion, since times call for having both operating systems running at
the same time, but it's nice to know that this alternative option is also
available. if I have Windows already installed via a virtual machine, would
I have to reinstall it, do you know?
Thanks.

hi harry,
booth camp does not cost money, except for what you pay for a legal copy
of windows.
I found it to be definitely worth it.
Though i try to do it all on the mac, obviously, it is still good to have
windows. it can come in handy.

Harry,
I'm installing windows7 via bootcamp tommorrow morning. It looks quite
straightforward, but sighted assistance is required for the windows
install portion of the process as there is no screen reader support at
that point.
You can read the installation and setup pdf for bootcamp to get familiar
with the steps involved. And, for the windows7 install, I found a
detailed, step-by-step guide for installing windows7 on Black Viper's
website
www.blackviper.com
search his site for windows 7 install.
I'll no doubt be crowing about my new windows7 machine, or asking
frantically for help and advice, depending whether it goes well or badly
tomorrow.
P.S. if you want a microsoft word document of the bootcamp setup and
installation guide I can send it to you via email - contact me offlist
for that doc.

Subject: Boot Camp and 10.8.2
Hi all,
I was wondering how hard it is to install Boot Camp, if it costs money,
and if it is worth it if i already ache VMware Fusion. Waht are the
advantages/disadvantages? would it make the Windows side of my computer
faster/more efficient to be running without the Mac portion running at
the same time, for example? I know others ahve provided instructions, so
I could search for those threads, if instructions were provided about the
best way to search the mail archives, as I don't know.
Also, my other question has to do with 10.8.2. I wondered, since I know
some of you ahve had issues with Voiceover in 10.8.2, owudl yo urecommend
I upgrade from 10.8.1? I am really wanting to improve my Spanish skills,
but my Voiceover defaults to English each time I restart to English even
though my system in in Spanish. I would install 10.8.2 in Spanish to
avoid this, but don't want to make VoiceOver unreliable if 10.8.2 is
still pretty buggy.
Thanks for any help, and I hope this is all clear, being unrelated as
both portiosn of the post are.
Regards,
harry
