Hello David Setting up the VM is on topic. Where it goes off topic is once Windows is running, and the configuration. I hope that helps. I also agree totally with you; Lew's information is a little flawed. It's perfectly possible, even simple, for a blind person to create and maintain a

Hello Sarah Fair enough, but I should make it absolutely clear that the copy on our site is definitely not pirated in any way whatsoever. It's just the same as the version which VMWAre themselves distribute. But it's entirely down to the individual. We've never had a problem with downloading
