You need to be able to run .Net on it as DW needs it. I do not think there is a .Net for MacOSX. I know folks tried mono on Linux platforms with some success (not sure on DW). Best be would be to run windows using parallell or Fusion...

Hi janbak

No plans for a MacOS version of DW Universe - there's just too many dependencies on Windows components to do this cleanly.

I have read of players successfully running DW on their dual boot Macs running Windows.

Thanks
Elliot
