I would like to try a MAC Pro for my engineering applications but they're not cost affective compared to a WinTell box. RE: Anyone running SolidWorks on a Mac? Heckler (Mechanical) 16 Mar 07 17:24 Maybe in the future we'll all just learn to get along-and the penguin will use a 12-button mouse with an Intel machine? One of the biggest shortfalls has been the limited selection of software, but on a Windows platform (which I hope is at LEAST as stable as its native format-I can certainly deride Windows, too) perhaps that issue disappears and you end up with a much more versatile machine? I'm always concerned about productivity/dollar, so I've not seen the Mac avenue as being even a close contender-but maybe that's changing. I think Pete's question of finding a benchmark to test against is a great idea. (Same with industrial designers, depending what they use-the Adobe stuff seems originally intended for Macs anyway.) If you've got a graphic designer around, this is probably the way to go, if you can set it up successfully. Yikes-I guess that does come across a bit harsh-getting grumpy in my old age.
