unfortunately people, inclyuding me, have reported that jaws will
complain and get unstable in the host machine when focus is switched
back to the host machine, in fact sending the ctrl key among with any
other key pressed in the system. Other than this, it is hard in vmware
server to switch between the control of two or more virtual machines
when they're powered on and so on. My scripts adress most part of
these problems. I choose to script vmware server because it is free
and I needed to run it.
