There is not a specific “Mac version” of WorkingArtist at this time. We understand that there are many artists who use only Macs but there are also artists who only use PCs. Some use both PCs and Macs. And that is why WorkingArtist Version 4 will be available for both Windows and Mac OS systems. It is scheduled for release in the late spring or early summer of 2010.

As a company, we try to produce and support the best product that we can. In order to make WorkingArtist available for Mac users, we are moving WorkingArtist to a new development platform. This is a difficult process and will take time, but we are committed to supporting the ever growing number of artists who would like to use WorkingArtist either on a PC or a Mac.

We have previously suggested that Mac users install Virtual PC so that they can run WorkingArtist and other Windows programs on their Mac. However, new Macs are using a different architecture and so we suggest that new Mac users consider using either Parallels Desktop for Mac or Boot Camp. For either product, you will need to acquire and install the Windows operating system onto your Mac.

Parallels Desktop for Mac www.parallels.com, enables you to run both Windows and Mac OS X Tiger at the same time.

Boot Camp www.apple.com/bootcamp is a free utility from Apple now available in beta testing. Boot Camp creates a partition on the computer's hard disk and installs Windows to it. When the computer starts up, you can choose to run either Windows or Mac OS X but you cannot run Windows and Mac applications simultaneously.
