<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am a blind user who uses the screen reader JAWS to
interact with my Windows PC.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am considering installing Ubuntu on my PC, but since I use
Windows frequently for some things, I would like to run Ubuntu and Orca in a
virtual machine under Windows rather than as a separately booting OS (which
would mean taking a lot of time to switch OS).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>So, my questions are:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><![endif]>&nbsp;Will a screen reader such as JAWS work well with
the Microsoft Virtual Machine (I&#8217;m using XP Pro).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><![endif]>If I can get Ubuntu to load inside the virtual machine,
will the Linux screen reader Orca be able to work inside Ubuntu?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><![endif]>Will there be a problem with two OS&#8217;s (one
running in a virtual machine) using the sound output for speech?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any info or user experiences.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
