Why not run VMware then you can run the other flavors of Windows as you need them. -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Philip Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 11:32 AM To: Blind System Admins (blind system admins) Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] windows 7, xpm, and jfw Hi. I tried out windows 7 beta, but my system is far too old to support the windows virtual pc feature. I have a few questions. 1. when running applications using xpm, do you have to install adaptive programs such as jfw also under xpm, or will the adaptive software running under windows 7 still work with applications running in xpm? The reason I am asking, I read an article that seems to indicate that applications running in xpm, communicate with windows 7 via rdp. Secondly, I work for an organization that teaches visually impaired students to use computers. we will be adding windows 7 to the mix very soon. Since we need to teach xp, vista and windows 7, along with office 2003, 2007 and eventually 2010, this gives us 9 possible combinations. The question is, can xp and/or vista be installed say 3 times under windows 7, each running a different version of office? Many thanks.
