Title: Is Radarbox software compatible with new Apple Computers?
Post by: skyking44 on November 16, 2010, 11:19:11 PM
I'm considering a new iMac computer with the Snow Leopard operating system and would like to know if anyone has used it successfully with the radarbox or do I need to keep my old PC?

It works but you need to use visualization software such as parallels or fusion to have windows installed.  Or. Install windows on Mac as dual boot option.

But does not run on Mac without one of these options.  If you search this forum you'll find other post confirming this.

Thanks very much for the insight.  Looks like I've got some things to learn about Mac's before I jump in and get one.  I knew there was going to be a learning curve and this will just add a little to it.

I find VM fusion better than parallels for this. WOrks a treat.

In fact I hardly ever use windows software now.

I purchased a small netbook which I use for the radarbox.

Once you move over to Apple there is very little need to move back.

Me too. I've got an iMac sitting in the corner and I've hardly used it since purchasing it two months ago. All my favourite programs are on my custom built PC which I know (almost), like the back of my hand when it comes to windows. All my stuff like Flight Simulator X, Airnav Radar, Satellite tracking software, Astronomy programs are all PC based. I know how to stick iTunes media on the iMac though lol.
