Crossover is not accessible. Parallels works, but isn't the best when it comes to accessibility, and from what I've been seeing, it's gotten worse with the latest few releases, so you might want to avoid that one too. VmFusion seems to work out of the box, and lets you run virtual instances

That's exactly what it's designed for, boot windows with the vm and jaws comes up like it was it's own system. It's sharing resourses with your Mac OS so it might not react exactly the same but it's pretty much windows on it'w own with a few tweaks here and there. -Original Message-
