There's really only one choice here, go with fusion. Parallels is not accessible, for some reason, the developers of parallels chose to use nonstandard controls for everything, which makes it completely inaccessible to voiceover. Why anyone would choose to use nonstandard controls when there are

Hi, I would say, go for fusion, not parallells. Parallels is not as accessible to voiceover as fusion. Under fusion, you won't need any sighted assistance to get windows up and running. On Sep 4, 2011, at 7:56 AM, ezzie bueno wrote: > Hello List, > > I am seriously considering installing Window

Hello List, I am seriously considering installing Windows into my Mac. Would it be easier to use Fusion or parallels? What would you say are the pros and cons of each? Thanks, Ezzie Bueno Sent from my BrailleNote Apex Skype: sillyez Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sillyez Google Talk: sil

Hi. Your question asking if BootCamp or Fusion is the best for running Windows on a Mac has no definitive answer as the word "best" is subjective. Both BootCamp and VM Ware Fusion will allow a blind or low-vision Mac user to run Windows effectively on a Mac. I use them both and h

Hello! Just a quick note: You will need to change at least one key since you can't have the capslog key as the Jaws key. You can use a program called: Sharpkeys. It has been reviewed on Mainmenu and it will help you a lot, when you want to use the Jaws key. I have personally decided to use the

Yeah the authorization is always fun. I feel like I should be using Window-eyes rather than JAWS at this point when I need to use Windows, and I'll probably end up switching sometime down the road. But getting used to yet another screen-reader isn't really what I want to be doing with my free tim

If you can download windows 7, Fusion will install it using an ISO image, that may be the best approach, if you get a disk, you will probably need sighted help to read the product key. Fusion will automate the install of windows for you, so you can do that without sighted help. Once your virtual

Given the accessibility issues with Flash content, Firefox, and the large amount of things I still have on my PC, I've decided to go ahead and try VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Air. However, I'd like to use Windows 7 since my current PC has vista and I don't want to put that on my Mac. I'm leaning
