Others have answered this question pretty well. Just to add anecdotal experience, I and several other FrameMaker consultants/trainers have been working almost exclusively on the Mac platform for some time, using either Parallels or VMware Fusion to run MacOS and Windows concurrently.
I've been very pleased with the environment and the performance. Do I wish I could get away without running Windows? Yes. Is that likely to happen? No. Here's a rather thorough Adobe blog post on the topic. http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/02/post-6-how-to-run-framemaker-on-mac.html An interesting tidbit...if you check the properties of Apple's PDF-format user manuals, you will still see FrameMaker 6 and 7 with surprising frequency. -Alan --- Fellow, Society for Technical Communication <http://www.stc.org>Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.
