uday Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 BBO is a windows program. There are 2 basic options for the Mac. 1. Install VirtualPC ( older macs) or Parallels (x86 macs) then install some reasonably recent version of Windows on your mac inside either of these programs. Parallels is commercial software, as is Windows itself. At one point, VirtualPC was also commercial but I vaguely remember that it was made free. After installing windows, install BBO inside Windows inside Parallels/VirtualPC . 2. Install this "crossover" thing ( x86 macs only) and then install BBO and see if you can get it to work for you as per that thread referenced above. The crossover thing, as i understand it, is a free beta for now but wont be free once it is officially released. The advantage to this solution is that you dont need to pay for and install windows itself. I'll be playing w/crossover one of these days. if it works I'll wrote up a how-to.
