How about some support for us Mac users?

OK, I (and I have seen several other comments about this) own and use a Mac, with no access to a PC. I would like to run programs such as virtualScape and Card Creators (Sorry, can't think of their names now), without having to buy Parallel Desktops or some similar program.

Does anyone know if there is a free working equivalent to Parallel Desktops? And if not, any chance of someone creating a Mac version of VirtualScape?

It has been mentioned. It requires someone with the knowledge of either Mac exclusive or cross platform programming with the time and desire to do so. Simply stated, the apps that have been created have been fan created and their is a greater percentage of PC users, therfore, a greater likelyhood that something will be made for a PC.

Of course, this could have gone in the VirtualScape for Mac here on the very first page of this sup-forum.

Re: How about some support for us Mac users?

When I learn java a bit more, I might be able to create a virtualscape for MAC.

One question for anyone that knows Java:
How do you actually make applications. I get how to make programs, but how do you make graphics and interfaces.

Re: How about some support for us Mac users?

Look here

It runs Windows, too.
Have a Windows application you need to use once in a while? No problem. Every new Mac lets you install Windows XP and Vista and run them at native speeds, using a built-in utility called Boot Camp.

Setup is simple and safe for your Mac files. After you’ve completed the installation, you can boot up your Mac using either Mac OS X or Windows. (That’s why it’s called Boot Camp.) Or if you want to run Windows and Mac applications at the same time — without rebooting — you can install Windows using VMware or Parallels software.*

So do other computer manufacturers. The only difference is that the OS and the Hardware come from the same provider in the cas of Macs.

As an IT pro, I can say I have just as many issues with Macs as PCs (when factorign the install base percetange) and I get just as good, if not better, support from Dell, HP, etc as I do from Apple (Of course, I am talking corporate/business support as opposed to home support, but you get what you pay for-which is always less for the PCs )

Yep, Wine. I run it on Linux and it runs Virtualscape fine. I haven't tried it on OS X but the support page says it should work.
