Hi,
You can run Windows XP or Windows 7 on a Intel Mac using either VMWare Fusion
or Bootcamp. You then run JAWS within that operating system. I personally use
VMWare because I can run it at the same time as I run OS X. There are some
JAWS key mapping problems on laptop Macs but otherwise I don't notice any other
problems.
Feel free to contact me off list if you have any other questions.
