Vmware server works under ubuntu feisty, but you will
probably need a
patch for it, as it is unable to compile a set of kernel
modules as is.
Unfortunately I can't remember the web address for the
patch, but it
came up near the top of results when searching for
"vmware ubuntu
feisty" or something along that line.
Vmware needs to run with administrator permissions (I think,
but if you
follow the Orca instructions for working with administrator
rights
needing applications then you can get vmware to speak with
orca). There
are some buttons which don't seem to have a speakable (text)
label, but
they seem to follow the usual order.
In this setup you will need a windows screen reader and some
way to
install windows, as Orca cannot read any of the virtual
machines (unless
it is another system running gnome with orca installed in
the virtual
machine, but its the version of orca in the virtual machine
which would
be reading that virtual machine). To put it another way,
consider all
software in virtual machines separate from other virtual
machines on
your system, and your actual system is separate from the
virtual
machines.
I don't know how things run in wine, but I think Orca will
be unable to
read any of these, I don't know if you could install a
windows screen
reader in wine, and get that to read anything, and when I
tried running
a basic windows text based app through wine (you can get
linux screen
readers to read this as it isn't creating a new window it
will be
running in the text console (or gnome-terminal)) it ran
incredably
slowly, but that might have just been that app.
