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. Phil
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.

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me a little more info? Can I assume vmware is not a Microsoft product? Will it run under windows 7, or would I have to have some sort of windows server installed? How about accessability with jfw, zoomtext and system access? Can you provide a link where I can read more about it? Many thanks.

I am running a version of Linux using the VMware player. It is running under windows 7. It is great because you can test different configurations, and if you don't likeone you just get rid of it, and your windows system -----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 12:09 PM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] windows 7, xpm, and jfw Thanks for your reply.
