I thought Autodesk had most of their software running natively in OS X. I saw a demonstration of Autocad and Maya, I thought it was native. Is that not the case?
Issue: You want to know if you can run Autodesk® Revit® on an Apple® computer using Apple Boot Camp software.
Solution: Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 & 2011, Revit MEP 2010 & 2011, and Revit Structure 2010 & 2011 are supported running on a Windows partition of an Apple computer using Boot Camp to manage a dual OS configuration. Boot Camp is a utility provided with the Apple OS X v10.5 operating system (aka “Leopard”) that enables you to create a separate hard drive partition (on Intel-based Apple computers) on which you can install a Microsoft Windows OS. Boot Camp allows you to specify which operating system to boot when starting the computer. If you start the computer in Windows you can install and run Windows applications at native speeds. Note: Boot Camp does not include a Windows OS. You must purchase the Windows Operating System software separately.
Yes, the programs run ok (native speed) but you are running windows piggybacked onto the Apple system. You spend more money to buy the apple than you would an industrial strength PC desktop. Seems kind of nutty to me. Sort of like voting for a Rino instead of a Democrat or Democrat instead of a Rino, nutty.
