Trouble Loading vista??

This post certainly has me thinking: has anyone ever been able to install and run Inventor on an Intel Mac through Darwine? Or how about SolidWorks? Or are these applications too "Windows-based"?

I know some of these have trouble installing into Linux through Wine, so I would probably expect similar results through Darwine on OSX. But I don't think this'll prevent me from at least trying it when I get my new Mac Mini.

Inventor has had a lot of problems on Vista for some people. Inventor on Vista doesn't have support from Autodesk yet.

I don't know about Darwine, but I've read that people successfully run Inventor using Bootcamp. A quick look at the Wikipedia entry on Darwine makes me think it wouldn't work:

* Windows XP-only applications don't run correctly.

Pre-installed Vista on my laptop. I was concerned about it when i bought it. But it actually runs pretty well. The only problems i see with it is that you have to configure almost every program to be allowed within the firewall and that you have to run everything as administrator..even though your the administrator.

See Matt, this is a fanboy, I told you I am not.

Anyway, ok, please breathe. Just repeat to yourself "Only selling 60% predicted levels" and "Leopard in a month or so" and you'll be fine.

This was actually put in by developers, and was meant to be taken out. It turns out DOS (and then subsequent M$ O$s) was too crappy (oops.... Did I say crappy? I meant crappy) and needed a software interupt. Kind of like the reset button was left of the front of your computer because it was expected that you need it.
