Here is Microsoft's Office for Mac forum. Vista's lifecycle deadline for free updates was April 12, 2017. Due to emulation (for PowerPC Macs) only offering XP or less, people with PowerPC are strongly discouraged from emulating, unless they want to pay Microsoft for security updates, or can maintain XP in an isolated from network environment. Upgrade to at least Windows Vista if you want to continue free security updates. The website for Wintel for Mac OS X no longer exists, but was once an alternative.VirtualPC and Guest PC are options that will only run on PowerPC Macs.Īs of Ap, Microsoft started charging Windows XP users a per seat license to maintain updates.
Similar to WINE, Onlive provides cloud based application support for Intel Macs.Darwine (a form of WINE, which requires no PC operating system installed), iEmulator, Qemu are available for both PowerPC and Intel Macs. Most recently the following options are available for running Windows on the Mac:Apple Boot Camp support website and user to user Discussion forum, Oracle Virtualbox (see Oracle forums for 10.8.2 compatibility notes), Parallels, Crossover Mac (a form of WINE which requires no PC operating system installed), VMWare are all Intel compatible solutions for running Windows native applications on Intel Macs.
Macs have been Windows and DOS compatible since the very beginning. That will tell you if you have an Intel or PowerPC Mac. 3 5 likes 39,265 views Last modified 5:49 PM
