For Macintosh Users:
I just tested a Microsoft Product for Macintosh.
The product is the Windows XL with Virtual PC for Macintosh.
I tested various Windows based Chess Software, and database products. The CDs worked fine.
So now Macintosh users can now run Chess Informant products in the Window format on their computers.
The only drawback from a test by MacWorld Magazine.
Some Window chess products which have a 3d feature will not appear. Only the 2D feature.
Also note that the product, Virtual PC is very easy to use.
Stability is quite good. You do not have to partition your Computer into Windows and Macintosh. The new Virtual PC works as a regular application in the Macintosh system, and you can switch back and forth, between Windows and Macintosh with the click of a Mouse.
Recommended: First start Windows, then install a Chess CD, or DVD.
The product will read the CD or DVD, and you can open it.
I tested products from a Database Chess Company, and everything ran. Note: You can also download a Windows CHess product into Virutual PC. Printing: Printing works fine.
To make the product easy to use, (USER FRIENDLY), Microsoft places an icon on the DOCK. So the product is always available.
The product Windows XL comes in various versions.
Also comes with Office for Macintosh Professional.
In effect, you are no longer denied from using Informant products on your Macintosh. |
