I've ran Window-eyes on a system with Linux installed first then windows-98 running through vmware. Was very slow however. The processor was an 800 mhz with 256 mb ram. You have to have a real power horse to do this successfully. I do not know if jaws keys will be destroyed under vmware either. With window-eyes I didn't have a key issue so didn't look into that side of things. If I did this I would need sighted assistance installing vmware because you do need x to install. I'd rather just have a machine with two partitions on it, one for Linux and one for Windows if I was going to be running both. > For starters, there's the issue of direct x.

When I used window-eyes the msaa buffer under Internet explorer worked fine. I don't remember any issues. -- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. Raul A.
