[nfbcs] Mac with Windows Virtual Machine was RE: The Mac Beckens

[Christopher Chaltain]

I wasn't aware there was a partnership between Microsoft and Freedom 
Scientific. There is a partnership between GW Micro and Microsoft 
though. As explained on the web page 
http://www.gwmicro.com/News_&_Events/Latest_News/?newsNo=299 there's a 
partnership between GW Micro and Microsoft where MS Office users can get 
a free copy of Window Eyes.

I have been using a mac for almost a decade now and I have not found any slow responses with the functionality of Voiceover. There is definitely a learning curve as with any new operating system or piece of technology, but the Mac is accessible and now Office is as well.

Keep in mind that Jaws has a partnership with Microsoft directly to provide accessibility for their products. If access to Microsoft Word is a crucial point of your computer usage, Windows with jaws might be your best bet due to their partnership with Microsoft.
