Hello Mac users :)

My brother is thinking of getting an Apple Powerbook soon. He *needs* (his words) to be able to run Autodesk 3ds max and Autodesk Autocad. I *think* Autodesk have a Mac OS X version of Autocad (so I was told). I don't think they have a Mac OS X version of 3ds Max. Would he be able to run such a hungry app in MS Virtual PC (hey, it's that or Windows XP on a PC)?
(Of course, he's not going to pay for MS Virtual PC either way ... I hope)

Does MS Virtual PC run on a Mac?

I thought it was Windows only, as far as I'm aware Virtual PC is a program that allows you to run a guest x86 operating system on your x86 PC.

You can get it for Mac OS X too.

Can't VMware handle this, given the Darwin-based nature of OS X?

Laukev7:
VMWare is only for x86.
