Mac Compatibility?

[Katalyst777]

I understand all the system requirements to run on a Mac... is there anyone out
there that is successfully using, designing and enjoying the experience? I will have to
pay the additional coin to purchase Windows 7 and the arduous task of installing
it all properly. I'd love you response. Thank you.

I have had two Macs and successfully partitioned the hard drive, using Boot Camp, installed Windows (XP on the old one, Windows 7 64-bit on the new), and booted up in to the Windows side to use this and other software programs.

It isn't nearly as "arduous" as you might think. Just follow the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide on Apple's website.

The only thing I had to change, both times, was that the Function keys don't work like you'd expect on the Windows side initially. This has nothing to do with Home Designer, other than I use the F6 (Fill Window) hotkey so without these working, it was annoying.

In the Boot Camp Control Panel, on the Keyboard tab, there is a checkbox to allow this to work correctly.
