Re: Is OSX (mac) FRC Friendly?
Actually LabVIEW was born on the mac, first released in 1986, and was mac only until the team and I released a port to Win31 in 1992. While we were at it, we also ported to unix, specifically Solaris. Over the years, we added HPUX, Concurrent, linux. Internally, we had LV running on WinNT on Alpha, and a portion running on BeOs. But the market ultimately decides what stays as a product.
Today, LabVIEW runs on mac, win, and linux desktop OSes. Only Windows has full RT support.
As for BootCamp and VMs. I run them all day long to develop LV for FRC and see teams run them at competition. The Kinect is about the only thing I've ever seen that won't work on the VM. And it crashes Bootcamp pretty often as well.
