I've got someone who swears ProE will run ona Mac... can anyone absolutely confirm or deny his claim?
Paul
I have a MACBOOK PRO andIt runsPRO|E WF5.0 like a charm, the issue is really the graphic card, once the assembly is getting bigger it will loosing performance, but I don't work with big assemblies too much so it fits to me.
One observation is that when running windows virtualized with Parallels PRO|E doesn't work because of the flexnet service that doesn't start, maybe there is a trick for that but since I don't like the idea of running CAD/CAE/CAM software in virtualized environments I surpassed my curiosity and gave up on that, still working with PRO|E just in bootcamp.
PS: If you run Windows with Parallels (readingWindows from bootcamp)and choose to change the theme of windows to appear like a MAC, once you boot it in bootcamp laterit still with that theme, is not heavy and better than the Windows XP PRO grey or blue uglythemes.Here is a picture of it:http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v5/docs/en/Parallels_Desktop_Users_Guide/30801.htm

Hi,
Apple also rules the audio recording world. At my home studio,my iMac runs the audio program Logic smoother than smooth. Just for fun, I tried to get my audio interfaces installed on Win XP... a complete disaster. Professional audiorecording is very demanding on the OS (you need a latency of less than 5 ms), and you just don't want Windowsin your studio for that reason. Unless you buy a PC that's more expensive than a Mac, and don't install a virus scanner, and find an interface with a driver that actually works... I rest my case.
As far as I know, theengineers at Apple use UG NX natively on Mac OS X. I even heard the rumor that Steve Jobs organized the NX port to Mac?!
Regards,
Jaap

The key component here is that Apple focuses on consumer products almost exclusively -- not business or engineering products. The only business products they seem to target are for graphic designers, where they have been propped up for years while open market PCs beat the snot out of them in all other areas. iPads are cool as can be, but all that cool interface and design technology does me zero good when I'm trying to design things.
I wonder what Apple designers use for all their mechanical and electrical design & analysis work? It would be interesting to hear.
Best Regards,
