I heard somewhere that it does play macintosh programs. That it is compatible with macintosh programs.
It does not have the APIs or framework to play OSX programs.Terminator2000 said:I heard somewhere that it does play macintosh programs. That it is compatible with macintosh programs.

Well, my old macintosh webdesign programs such as PageMill and Macintosh Illustrator.
LOL! You used PageMill too?Terminator2000 said:Well, my old macintosh webdesign programs such as PageMill and Macintosh Illustrator.
Ok, those will definitely not work in Vista. I'd strongly suggest looking into alternative programs that will do what you want them to do on the Windows Vista platform.
The real problem is that the mid-level webdesign programs are sort of gone now. These days you either have high-end stuff such as Dreamweaver or low-end products...not sure what they would be on the Windows side.
Why? are you a webdesigner? I'm trying to get into the biz. I heard about SwishMax. I'm going to try that. But I'm gonna try to include the aid of the other programs I used to use.danibbler said:LOL! You used PageMill too?

Isn't there a program that will translate macintosh programs into a windows operatin system?
No, I'm also thinking about going back into this area. I have a diploma in webdesign and e-commerce from a few years back but got sidetracked.Terminator2000 said:Why? are you a webdesigner?

I asked the pros what they would consider and, this is from the Mac side, they suggested a good text editor, Photoshop (you ABSOLUTELY have to have this or GIMP), a good ftp program (free ones that do the job are easier to find on the Windows' side than Mac side), and a Flash program such as Adobe Flash or I guess you could use SwishMax but I've never heard of it.
But, it's not the software and hardware, it's the skillset that makes it all happen.
And, no, there is no program to translate Mac programs into Windows' ones.
