I have Windows7 in a bootcamp partition on an iMac running Mountain Lion.
Both work just fine, although I've been concentrating on learning the mac
and haven't used the bootcamp for months (I have another windows box I use
regularly).
In my opinion, there is no contest between windows/jaws and Mac for
productivity software. MS Office with Jaws is far and away a superior
productivity tool. I understand that there is relatively good access to
Mac's iWork suite, but there is just no comparison between the two.
Aside from that, the mac is interesting if a little limited in accessibility
compared to windows/jaws. Windows just has alot more choices for accessible
programs than does the Mac.

Subject: Serious question about Mac vs. Windows
Hello list,
I'm a new subscriber as of today and would like to ask this direct
question without getting a lot of elitest Mac/Windows mentalities. What I
mean by this is I would love to get some feedback from you guys on the
list about an unbiased bit of feedback on your experiences with the Mac.
I also would like to know what you guys have experienced as being pros to
the switch from a windows machine to that of a Mac system as well as cons
if there is any. Have any of you used boot camp or another way of running
windows successfully on a Mac?
The reason I want to get this information is because my wife just
recently had her Toshiba laptop give out on her after just three to four
years and is rather disappointed with her experiences in windows laptops
so she is tossing around the idea of a Mac. However, before making the
decision to just jump into the decision she would like to get as much
information as possible and weigh the advantages and disadvantages first
so that she makes the best decision for her in the long run without being
stuck shelling out money on a system she won't like. I ask about running
Windows in boot camp or through another avenue because she enjoys mudding
and uses VIP mud which is made only for windows so will likely need to use
this in the short term at the very least until she can find a client that
works as well with voiceover on the Mac.
I thank all responses you guys can give us and thank you all in
welcoming me to the list.
Take care,
Shannon Gerdts
