Me thinks that since VoiceOver is tied into the operating system, along with all the other accessibility options, it's not very likely.=20 Good news is that Apple just switched to the x86 arch, and that means OS X will run on the same PC as Windows, so if you wanted to, in a year or two it will be possible to run OS X and Windows on the same computer, with a little fiddling around. Some people are doing that already, albeit illegally. Cheers jane
