Can I use Phoenix on my Apple Macintosh® computer?
Yes, if you have an Intel-based Apple Mac* machine then Phoenix will function extremely well under Windows XP, Vista or Winsows 7 running on one of the following systems:
- Bootcamp (recommended)
- Parallels (latest version)
- VMWare Fusion (latest version)
* If you are unsure whether your Mac is Intel-based, you can find out here.
Personally I don't use a MAC (yuck) but there are many people discussing running under bootcamp on various other forums with excellent results.
