Hi Robert,

Wubi is totally accessible. At least until the point when you have to 
restart the machine, and really all you have to do there is wait for 
Ubuntu to finish installing. Give it perhaps 25 minutes for install to 
complete and it will automatically reboot back into Windows after it 
configures Ubuntu. Wubi is basically just a standard Win32 application 
and Jaws, Window-Eyes, Hal, NVDA, etc doesn't have any problems with the 
install prompts.

Cheers!
