OK this is probably a good question for Dean!
I am now highly considering getting a mac to further develop the creative
aspects of what I do. I understand that some developers have moved to Mac
and use the VMWare to run windows applications. My questions are:
If developing on a Mac would I
When you upgrade, I believe you can upgrade to the mac version from PC
version. I've heard of people trying to run these apps in VMs, with
little success b/c they're so resource intensive.
Just my two cents.

This a great question, and one I'll be interested in following. I don't
have a Mac myself, but after flailing with Vista on my dell laptop my friend
got a Mac Book Pro, and watching how quickly and easily it runs definitely
makes me jealous. Granted they are just a casual user, so I just keep
Hey I would also be interested to here from anyone else who develops CF on a
mac. I'm just curious how many members of this list are doing it.

The software will NOT install on both. You can run it all under
Windows through VMWare, but it sounds like what you will end up doing
is running everything on the PC and nothing on the mac.
I develop on a mac. I use BBEdit (text editor) for code, safari/
firefox for browser
Off the top of my head, I know Howard Fore is using one at home, and then
also Josh Adams just got a Mac starting over at Adobe, so that should be a
good sign I would think. I know Ben Forta was on Vista, but he may have
even been on a Mac at CFunited Europe, although I can't remember for sure.
Dusty-
If you are going to switch to a mac I'd try to run everything on the
native mac OS that you can. IIRC, Adobe will allow you to switch your
PC based licenses to mac based ones, but there may be a catch or two
attached. Seems I remember something about only being able to do that
once per
Derrick yes that is exactly the kind of information I need. My hope was that
I would not have to run all the Adobe software on the Windows OS and it
sounds like that is the case but I guess I need to get the Mac version of
all the software. So the question might be can I upgrade my CS2 products to
I've been on Macs since before I worked with Cheyenne, and being able
to test between multiple systems and browsers helps highlight
bothersome code much faster, and by doing it in more compliant
browsers (Safari, FF, even IE7) first then makes the hacks for IE6
more manageable.
As far as
I just spoke with Adobe directly and you can switch your license from pc to
mac. However, they claim they no longer have CS2 products to distribute so
you can only do this if you're already using CS3 products.

Along these lines, I'll point out that Shannon Hicks has an ongoing series
he started last month on the very subject of moving to Mac as a CFer. Check
out the dozen or so he's done to this point at:

Dusty,
The only thing you'll really miss is SQL Server. Everything else that you
will use will either have a Mac install or there will be a Mac program that
does the same thing. I use Windows for CF development at work and at home I
use Macs for my freelance development. I use Eclipse as my IDE so
You don't have to miss it. Without external hardware you can run an external
monitor at the same time as using the onboard LCD (mirrored or not). If you
buy a Matrox DualHead2Go you can run two external monitors with the onboard.

ha! a non-mac d00d clearly. been a C64, Amiga, to PC guy. I know the mac
desktops do dualies and far more certainly! But I am speaking to the
lappies. Sure, a external monitor and the internal one is cool and all, but
I'm talking of two equal sized external ones.
