ACK too, at the moment I use this kind of installation and I also think 
that is no good solution.

I tryed to use VMWare with a Windows screenreader. With Jaws I had no 
success, it even wasn't possible to install this screenreader into a 
virtual machine with Windows XP. But Dolphin's Hal looked better, I was 
able to navigate through the system and read for example a webpage and I 
got speach output every time. Unfortunatly I hadn't enough time to test 
VMWare with Hal more compiously, but maybe that would be a good 
approach to use Windows software on linux systems.

For both Hal and VMWare it is possible to get demo versions. Maybe 
anyone with more time likes to test this setup and tell what is possible 
and what won't work :).

Best regards,
Christian
