For years, the software image used in all our University labs has
included assistive technologies such as Jaws, Kurzweil 3000, and
Zoomtext. Over the next few months, the infrastructure of our lab
environment is going to be reworked. All our current PCs will
basically be used as Thick clients, which over time are to be replaced
by Thin clients. upon starting, the clients will boot to Linux, with
Firefox running in kiosk mode. Users will be presented with a simple
login web page. After logging in, a Windows XP VM will be streamed to
the client.
The base VM is going to be very vanilla, with most apps being streamed
to the VM as needed. These streaming packages will be built using
Altiris Streaming Composer. Is there anyone else dealing with a
similar setup? If so, I would be very curious to compare notes as to
any accessibility issues you have needed to overcome. My biggest
concern is video chaining issues with apps such as Jaws and Zoomtext.
