Thanks. The quick install option sounds particularly appealing, as we don't
generally have a lot of sighted help around.

Hi.
A couple of things to keep in mind.
1. If you do go the boot cam route, you will need sighted assistance to
get windows installed. Also, you'll be able to have Fusion treat the
bootcamp partition as a virtual machine. This has some advantages such as
being able to utilized all of the Mac's resources when you need to do
something that needs a lot of them but still able to boot in to windows
quickly through fusion when you don't need to do something system
intensive.
2. The quick install option in fusion will have fusion install windows
without sighted assistance. The only thing you need do after installation
is install you're screen reader of choice.

Thanks Matt. Right now I'm still unsure as to whether or not I'll set up
a virtual machine or do a bootcamp install, but this info was very
helpful.

Hi.
Once you shut down the VM, you're Mac will indeed have all of it's
resources once again.

Hi everyone.
I have a copy of Windows 7 floating around here, and I was thinking
about playing with VMWare fusion. I have a few questions before I get
started though. I understand that when you're setting up the virtual
machine, you allocate a certain portion of your system resources in
order to run it. Let's say, for example that I allocate four of my
eight gigs of ram and 250 of my 750 gigs of hard drive space for the
virtual machine. When I shut down the virtual machine, will those
resources be returned to my mac? That is to say, will I once again have
all 8 gigs of ram and 750 gigs of hard drive space available for use on
my mac? I apologize if this sounds basic. Thanks.
