Re: Windows Fusion questions
Hello Jamire To avoid repeatedly discussing the same topics on list, could I suggest that you might like to view the list archives which contain extensive discussion related to VMWare Fusion. Fusion is a popular virtualisation application which allows you to run virtual machines within Mac OS X and, therefore, multiple simultaneous operating systems. There are, and probably will be for the medium term at least, several accessibility issues which can mostly be worked around. Indeed, if one is prepared not to be able to customise the user interface of a pre-installed operating system, Parallels Desktop can actually be used by a blind or visually impaired person. Anyway, as I said, there is repeated discussion on the list archives so you might like to go there and do a search for the term Fusion which will undoubtedly produce a lot of information for you. Oh, and for the record once again and for everybody's reference, it is against list policy to discuss the configuration of Windows within your virtual machines. Discuss the virtual machines's configuration itself, but not the guest operating systems unless, of course, the guest operating system happens to be another instance of Mac OS X which, of course, changes the entire ball gam. Thank you for your tolerance. Lynne I hope this helps.

Re: Windows Fusion questions
I'm not sure if fusion does slow things down or not, but I have 8 megs of ram in mine, so this is definitely *not* a problem here. I also don't tend to do a lot of intensive things at the same time. Also, I have an I Mac and not a laptop, which might make a difference, but I'm not sure about that especially since the newer MacBooks are pretty powerful now.

Re: Windows Fusion questions
Fusion is a program which lets you run a copy of windows on your mac as a virtual machine. I think it costs around $50, well, $49.95 for the latest version. I also think they have a trial version which you can try out for 30 days for free. You can go to www.vmware.com and take a look, but be warned, I personally hate their web site and think it's a bear to navigate! On the other hand, I love using fusion on my mac and this is what I use for my windows needs on my mac.

Re: Windows Fusion questions
fusion is easy to set up. Either purchase the dvd from a retailer or download the file from their site and install it onto your mac and follow the prompts. You can then install the other OS independently as a blind person, which is beyond all coolness imho! Everything is accessible on the mac side, but once you're into the other OS, it's business as usual.

Re: Windows Fusion questions
Um, well, what did you expect? Really, it's pretty good, you get two different operating systems on one machine without having to switch machines. and you can load the other OS without sighted assistance. Try that with a straight windows machine. anyway, it's totally doable, money notwithstanding, and accessible, which is originally what you asked. Maybe you can find a lower priced copy of windows someplace. I'm sure they are out there. For example, I'm running a copy of xp I had lying around here, so not exactly the latest and greatest version. hth, Caitlyn On 2013-01-22, at 3:15 PM, jamie coady darklordja...@ntlworld.com wrote: so we buy fusion and then we buy windows so i would say that is quite expensive. -Original Message- From: Orin Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 7:26 PM To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Windows Fusion questions Yes, you can use NVDA.

Re: Windows Fusion questions
boot camp is a way to divide your mac into partitions so you can run a copy of windows on your mac. again, u you will need a copy of windows to run on this other partition. If you run boot camp, you can't switch between mac and windows on the fly, or share files between OS's as you can with fusion, so the sharing isn't as seamless. Some like this option better because it keeps things more locked, if that makes more sense. I really can't answer in depth questions about boot camp as I don't use it, but I don't think all aspects of it are accessible, but I think the boot camp set up is, but the installation of windows *is not* accessible as it will be with fusion. hth, and I hope you find what works for you.
