Mac compatibility?
« on: March 19, 2006, 08:43:50 am »

Will Media Center run on the Mac? Downloaded MC, but unable to install.

Nope, but if you have a windows box and *still* prefer to work in the mac. You might be able to find a remote windows desktop client for the mac that will allow you to play with it.

Yep, Microsoft has Remote Desktop for Mac that allows you to access a Windows box remotely. Much better than using Virtual PC (read: much faster, very much like working directly on the PC). I use it all the time when I'm working on my Mac and am too lazy to turn to my right. Works like a charm!

Alternatively if you've got one of them new intel macs, I've heard you can install Windows on it
Then MC would probably work!

Thanks for everyone's advice and comments. However, the various procedures too much of a workaround. JRiver... are you listening? Why don't you offer a version of MC for Macs??

If the transition made perfectly, It would kill iTunes for Mac users.
