All programs created by Matrix have been designed for the Windows OS. Previously, the only way Mac people could use our programs was by employing a Windows emulation program, such as Virtual PC, Parallel/Windows, or VMWare Fusion/Windows.

Any new Mac you purchase comes with an Intel chip — so all you have to do is download the free Bootcamp software offered by Apple, then install Windows on the new partition. When you boot up your computer, you will choose which OS you want to use for that session.

Our sister company, Cosmic Patterns Software, has windows programs that run as native Mac programs with the use of a program called CrossOver Mac. See information about this software at website www.codeweavers.com
