So long as you understand that you are not going to be able to run Mac software with your Jaws. I suppose one wrinkle might be the video display hardware. Otherwise I expect that XP is XP.

Hi,

The best comparison I can make about going from a standard PC to a Mac is this. I liken it to going from a Honda Accord to a BMW. Both cars are quality cars and run very nicely. Macs just have a nicer form factor. The look and feel of a Mac is terrific. Honestly though, I have no earthly idea how to use the Mac operating system but I would like to learn. And I would never have considered investing money in a Mac if it wasn't possible to use my Windows software on a Mac machine. And I'll probably still not consider getting a Mac/Intel system if Jaws doesn't work on it. People who own Macs love them and always have good things to say about them.

HI,

What would be the advantage of  running windows xp on a Mac if you aren't
using the Mac software?  I'm just curious why anyone would want to waste
their money that way.

Hi All,

Woohoo! Have you all heard the news? Apple has released what I believe is
a software update to OSX that allows you to install Windows XP on a Mac that


uses the new Intel processors.  The software update is called boot Camp.
Which begs the question, how well will Jaws run on one of these systems?
I'm dying to find out!  I've always wanted a Mac and if Jaws will work on
one of these systems, I am so buying myself a Mac.  Does anyone out there
have or know anyone that has one of these Mac/Intel systems?  Has Freedom
Scientific commented on this as far as anyone knows?  Talk to you later.

Michael
