My understanding is this 'solution' will not be available until the release of OSX 10.5 (Leopard). Just yesterday Apple released OSX 10.4.6 so it looks like it could be some time in the future... If fact, the Mac version of PureEdge could be released by that time.

While this sounds like a good solution, it will be costly. Users will be required to purchase the new Intel Mac plus the XP-OS. If they are doing this only as a solution to run PureEdge, it would be far cheaper to buy a low end PC.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Mac Bootcamp - answer to Grants.gov Mac issue?

The Wall Street Journal wrote about the dual OS issue in its special
Technology Journal section on Monday in an article titled "Apple has
its best chance in years to make a dent in the business market" by
Nick Wingfield.

"Apple enthusiasts have come up with software that allows Windows XP
to run on Intel-based Macs, posting the code free online at OnMac.net."

Same issue exists that Charlie mentioned,  you must have a newer,
Intel-based Mac.   I would be interested to know if anyone uses this
approach as a route to the "happy path" of NIH/grants.gov submissions
for Mac users.
