VMWare fusion is about $50 which isn't all that bad. What will cost you
more is the license for Windows itself, which depends on what flavor of
Windows you want to test under. If you're trying to emulate a typical
user then that would be Windows 7 more often than not and that will run
you about $150. If you're trying to test for accessibility you can't
just fake it with WINE, which tries to emulate the Windows APIs so you
can run Windows apps without buying Windows. First, they probably aren't
going to emulate a lot of the accessibility APIs and second, if
something doesn't work right, how do you know if it's the app you're
trying to use or the faked Windows environment? The chat app's website
says it supports web, iOS and OSX clients in addition to Windows, so
could you use one of those?

Hello,
What is the easiest way to get a Windows application to work on the Mac?
I've heard that Wine doesn't really work very well with Voiceover. I also don't
want to spend a lot on licenses and such, which it sounds like is the case with
VMWare.
All I"m trying to do is get a live chat applicaiton to work. It's through
StarDevelop, www.stardevelop.com.
Is there anything I can do?
Pax Christi,
