Don't listen to Organic Panic. Apple Macs are the one Operating system that will run ALL software. My main Mac is currently running NINE operating systems, frequently all nine simultaneously. That includes UNIX™, macOX.12.5, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and three different versions of Linux. I also have at my fingertips several more now esoteric operating systems that I can run such as THEOS, Microsoft DOS 3.3, Commodore AmigaOS, and Commodore C=64/128 Basic plus graphics. The Mac can also run iOS and Android OS.
The Microsoft Windows versions can either be run natively, booting the Mac as a dedicated PC, or as Virtual Machines, running a PC in a window within the macOS with a slight speed cost.
One power Mac user demonstrated running 26 completely DIFFERENT Operating Systems on one Mac in virtual machines simultaneously with no interference between any of them and little to no speed impact on each instance. Each Virtual Machine could be set to run in either a window or on its own virtual screen.
So much for Organic Panic's claim that "Mac's can't run anything." The actual fact is that with a sufficiently powerful Mac, they can run anything. The truth is the other way around.
Yeah. Don’t listen to me. I just maintain NX with class a surfacing and 5x CNC, MasterCAM, NASTRAN. None of which are ported to Mac. I don’t know anything about software, hardware, or the requirements the software companies require you to use before they even take a tech support question. Just a stupid aerospace engineer am I who started with HPUX way back when, with Unigraphics and CATIA. BUT HEY. You can run BEOS with mac on with emulated hardware compatibility and play solitaire.
Not sure I am ready to cough up thousands for a Mac. We paid stupid money for our two iPads.
