Large, complex programs like Firefox, Chrome, and Blender have no difficulty supporting Windows, Linux, and OS X from a single source tree and single build. NET), porting from Windows is not the task it once was. And since both OS X and Linux support Mono (an open source implementation of. Since OS X is based on the BSD kernel it is trivial to build a single version for both targets. Someone earlier in this thread noted that many "real" CAD packages are available on Linux. All of a sudden it is not such a trivial market anymore. That's a lot of professional developers and a lot of Macs. At present there are some 300,000 apps for sale in Apple's app store.

This is not a surprise based on the utter market failure of Vista and the concomitant success of Apple's other products such as ipod, iphone, ipad, all of which require OS X to do any software development. And since almost all of those machines are used professionally (or by college students, another of your target audiences), the actual penetration into your markets or interest is higher, possibly as high as 15%. As of February 2011, based on information gleaned from websites that are able to determine the OS of the connecting machine, OS X now has a market share of almost 8%. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer used to laugh about how they served their 2-3% market share well, and MS served the other 97%. In 2006 when this thread started, Apple had (perhaps) 2.5% market share. Does that sound like a user friendly workflow to you? What we want is a native OS X application. We don't want to have to (a) buy a copy of Windows we don't otherwise need, and (b) have to reboot our computers every time we want to run Alibre. Since Macs tend to be faster than PCs of the same vintage, it runs great. Of course you can run Alibre under Boot Camp on an Intel MAC - because you are simply running Windows natively on what looks to it like a stock PC.

To be on the safe side, I always make a full backup of the Mac OS using Time Machine before I repartition the drive using Boot Camp. That said, if you do not like Boot Camp, it is real easy to delete the Windows partition and reallocate all hard drive space for the Mac OS.

One tip, it's real tricky to enlarge the WIndows partition after you have run Boot Camp so make sure you pick a partition size that is large enough. Once installed, you select whether you want to run Windows or the Mac OS by holding down the option key when you restart the Mac. When you start the application, it partitions you hard drive automatically and restarts the Mac and asks you to load the Windows CD to install. The Boot Camp application is located in the Accessories folder in the Mac OS. I have not tried it with newer version of Windows - maybe others can chime in. Windows XP, Service Pack 2 and newer are the only versions of Windows that Boot Camp supports. You'll need a CD with a copy of Windows and a Mac with an Intel CPU to use Boot Camp - I do not think your Powerbook will work. I have it running on an iMac and MacBook Air using Snow Leopard.

We sorta use the memory as a temporary place to put things until the host can pick them up and load them into host vram.Īlibre works great on a Mac using Boot Camp. We've seen games that load upwards of 400-500 mb of data into the host video card.

It's possible for an application to load much more than 128mb of data into your host video card despite having only 128mb visible to the guest, Note that we don't use video memory in the same way that a real video card does. VMware does not touch your physical video card at all.Īnd the maximum video ram you can allocate is 256 MB.

all of the virtual video ram comes from your system's RAM. but not much can be done for the video card. Under the settings you can do it for memory, HD, etc.

When I checked the graphics card on my virtual machine I am NOT getting the full power of my ATI Radeon (512mb of Vram).Īnybody know how to allocate more vram for my virtual machine?

When I am running Vmare Fusion on my MAC PRO (OS Leopard) with both Windows 7 and windows vista the computer is terribly slow. VMWare Fusion is not recommended,-> not "enough/real" VRAM.
