[nfbcs] Windows XP mode on Windows 7 machine

[Aaron Cannon]

Hi all.

I'm not too familiar with the virtual XP mode offered in Windows 7,
but I do know that it is possible to run windows in a virtual machine
and have Jaws work with it.

At work, I've successfully ran Windows 7 inside Windows XP using
Vmware.  Once Windows 7 was installed on the virtual machine, we
installed Jaws, and it successfully reads the screen of the virtual
machine.  However, it is quite sluggish, at least on my setup.  Not
sure if that's because of my machine or if it's just a standard issue
with virtual machines in general.

Hope that helps.
