Hmm, I did get JAWS to work quite well on my XP VM. I'm not disagreeing with you at all; it's just I've played around with virtualization quite extensively and I find JAWS to work really well once the special tools for the VM are installed, such as VMware Tools for VMware virtual machines.

The last thing you would ever want to do on a netbook is run virtualisation software for the following reasons: 1) A virtual machine must be given a chunk of your existing real RAM to work when the VM is running. So typically if you were to have a 2GB machine you may have to give the VM maybe 512 or perhaps 1GB of your system RAM whilst stilling leaving something for the host operating system to work with. Most netbooks don't have the RAM. 2) Machine virtualisation software is still reasonably processor intensive it is not the kind of typical task most ordinary people to whom Netbooks are marketed are doing right now. 3) Virtualisation per se is not without its problems either and most if not all Access Tech (and even mainstream developers) will generally not support their products on VMs.If you must use VISTA find a none to expensive laptop that does it. There are still smaller machines that are not as scaled down as Netbooks that would taks VISTA around.Regards.

The virtual machine uses your real ram and hard drive space for storring the virttual hard disks.

Vista would be too slow for 1 GB of RAM, even if it's the recommend amount. 2 GB is excellent for best results. Also, he could run virtualization software and create a virtual machine and operate Vistathat way. Actually, virtualization is strongly recommended since you don't need to think about hardware and software requirements like you would haveto if you were installing Vista for real. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx MSN: CH9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 5:09 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Vista on a NetbookMaybe you will be able to use Vista but the guy in Curry's said to me thatVista would be too slow on the NC10. Maybe he meant with the 1GB RAM. Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: SaqibTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 4:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Vista on a NetbookHi. Is it possible to install Vista on a netbook? I'm thinking of gettinga netbook and want to use Vista on it. I know I'll have to increase theRAM to 2GB to get a decent performance out of it but I don't know if these Netbooks are built to have Vista installed on them. I will be browsing fora netbook and the Samsung NC10 will be amongst my thoughts. I think it will be a toss up between the NC10 and the Advent 4213 which is a mobile broadband netbook as it has a simcard slot. Both machines are priced the same at £322.96. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.7 million users fighting spam.
