[nabs-l] JAWS, Windows 7, and VMWare Fusion

[T. Joseph Carter]

Rob,

How does JAWS work with VMWare?  I had some trouble with it under 
Parallels.  I'm told Window Eyes also works, but as I do not have a 
license, I'm reluctant to clutter a virtual machine with droppings of 
something I cannot afford and is only a demo, even if I do happen to 
prefer it to JAWS.

Obviously there's no insert on the Macintosh keyboard, but even when I managed to assign one (I forgot to save it) commands like JAWS+F12 didn't work. Now on teh Macintosh keyboard, F12 doubles up as the Volume Up key. I assigned the Backslash to the JAWS key, and neither Backslash+F12, nor FN+Backslash+F12 worked. Also does anyone know of a good all-in-one IM client, similar to Adium on the Mac, that JAWS won't have any issues with? Other than these shortcomings I'm enjoying Windows 7 and think this is going to be one worth getting when it comes out.
