Sanddrag,
You have a lot of answers here, but I wanted to add a history lesson. Autocad was written for both platforms at one time. Autodesk stopped supporting the Mac platform because their customer base was moving towards PCs due to their ease of use on large networks, support for multiple monitors and other peripherals like graphics tablets and big plotters. Big businesses need standardization and although Apple did have some of this same support, it was not enough to attract the big customers. I think the last version was Release 9.
