However it would be nice to have a native os x version, if you ever have plans to do that...
However, it should run well with (Dar)wine, it's tested and optimized for it.
> However it would be nice to have a native os x version, if you ever have plans to do that...
Sigh. Why do people never have this complaint about Java?
Rybka Aquarium runs on Darwine, and that's very good! But the user interface is not as attractive as in windows. The fonts appear all crappy... :-(
I also have some doubts about the performance in Darwine when compared to a native app. It cannot be the same thing.
Overall its fine that you take the commercial and technical option of not having native support in mac (or 100% portability with Java), but please just don't assume I'm being picky, because I could run windows anyway. I couldn't unless I would want to buy a specific machine for this.
Sure there are tons of software that run on windows only, but every significant piece of software has a mac alternative. Even Microsoft Office has a version for OS X.
and no, i dont think paying a hundred bucks or so for windows, which will allow you to access ALL major software, significant or not, would be remotely silly. it would be a very reasonable expense & one i will make first thing when i buy a mac. and as point of fact i would already have snow leopard, if it would install w/out limitation on my PC. why not?
Look at the Linux thread here, try if my Linux font solves that.
'the performance in Darwine when compared to a native app. It cannot be the same thing.'
The interface may be slightly less resposive on slow systems. Rybka and so on should run with the same speed. Note that Wine is not an emulator.
You could also install Linux if your comp has an intel processor.
