Text-To-Speech in chinese for iMac

Is it possible to have TTS in chinese for current iMac?
I try to change language to Chinese in system preference, I still can not get iMac to speak chinese except english. Any setting missing?
I did refer to third parties site suggested in Apple documentation, but no chinese voice available. Now, the only third parties addon I found is MacKey5 but the voice quality is poor and I can not change the voice speed.
Please share if you can find anyother source.

Recently my windowsXP was hanged in VMware fusion.
I tried shutting down the VMware but it keeps prompting me to suspend. I have only 2 options, which is to click on Suspend, or Cancel.
If cancel, the windows just cannot be shut down so as the VMware.
As VMware cannot be shut down, my macbook also disallow me to shut down. To shut down my macbook I have to remove the battery or turn off the main power. That is so damaging to my Macbook's hardware!

Now whenever I start my VMware...The VMware will just continue the WinXP from the suspend mode, which is hanged (It is now in totally blackout mode, meaning nothing can be seen, just a windows Hourglass mouse cursor moving).

What can I do for now?anyone has solution to this?

Or I have not choice but to remove my windows and reinstall VMware all over again?

i have a question

which one is the preferred software to use?

1. VM Ware
2. Parallel Desktop for mac
3. parallel for mac

i google n read the diff but i catch no ball.. seem like all the 3 r the same wor..

 

[PetPet]

Fusion/VMware and Parallels are different softwares doing the same thing. Virutalization. Having used both of them before. I'll say Parallels is much for user-friendly.

hmm... i remember hardwarezone doing a review on both of them. Give me a sec. I'll give you the link

ok for parallel and vmware i have tried both of them...i would say both are quite similar...but i would go for vmware as it run faster when u running more than 2OSes at one time....parallel like will get laggy once 2 OS is running...
