Re: Mac Bootcamp - answer to Grants.gov Mac issue? Kuba, Larry S. 05 Apr 2006 11:50 EST
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. L.

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.
