As far as I know, all screen readers that work in windows are compatible. I personally use Jaws and NVDA, but Windows Eyes also works and others no doubt as well. Virtualization produces a discrete platform for the OS that is not easily affected by the host system’s limitations. Basically, you

I had heard that there were a sequence of steps to be done at the log in screen, at least just before the Mac side of things booted up. I just was not certain what the order was. I know if this is done at the log-in screen, you will not have any speech. I am assuming there will be some speech if

in Mac system preferences, find and press enter on “startup disk”. in that dialog, you will see the option to select the bootcamp installation as the startup disk. select it and press restart. Your MBA will reboot into bootcamp windows. There is a similar functionality on the windows side. From

Have you tried saving the file as a Microsoft Word document while on the mac and then opening it in windows? I know I've created documents using Pages and converted them before sending them to people as attachments and I've never been told the file didn't turn out correctly. On Aug 8, 2013, at 4
