I have to much windows software to ever really switch to a mac
without running windows in a vm but yeah it may be that I will
eventually have to get a mac even if that does mean I just use it for windows.

Well, as Tom said, and I eluded to, there isn't really much to add.
The process for installing a VM, at least on Mac, is extremely
simple for anyone. It literally consists of these steps:
1. Install the VMWare Fusion app, which is 100% accessible.
2. Insert a Windows XP install disc and click to create a new VM.
3. Follow the prompts and type in the key for the Windows XP disc.
4. VMWare does all of the inaccessible Windows installation screens
for you, so you're done. install your screen reader and use Windows.
That's literally all there is to it. I've actually done this
several times already.

Hi josh.
I never said I would not! upgrade, only that I had looked at the
pros and cons and decided against it. Remember, my comments about
the interface in windows 7 do not just reflect the main start
menue and windows explorer, but also programs like outlook
express, microsoft office etc, since in windows 7 all of those
things change. Also bare in mind these are not based upon
unwarrented assumptions, but on several hours spen looking around
a number of machines running windows 7. It is true I have not yet
tried windows 8, so my comments are mostly directed at windows 7 in particular.
as far as virtual machines go, this is precisely why I suggest!
people put out more information. for a none programmer, running a
virtual machine is not such a simple matter at all, aprticularly
without vision, and though I have red articals on the subject
nothing has looked symple particularly when you cannot read the
windows boot screen etc, hence my original suggestion.
as to creating post xp games, well that would give a reason to
upgrade, though bare in mind there are so many negatives with
windows 7 there would need to be a lot of extremely good games to
count the balance, ----
as indeed there are currently on Iphone.
Beware the Grue!
