Also, if you would like to see exactly how JAWS does under Windows 7 and VMWare Fusion, you can check out this video I made for YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJl5j2v6Pk0

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.

on my MacBook. So far JAWS has had no issues, except for some commands. I'm
having issues assigning a JAWS key. 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.
