Bring on the Mac version, I cant wait!

Im working ok on my MAc via vmware, but it renders far slower than Windows. I get by ok, but look forward to the dedicated Mac version.

Sorry, guys, we will get a mac version as soon as humanly possible. Please be patient, as we want a mac version as much as you do.

Most UN-likely... ;)
I've never heard that happen to anyone, unless their cooling system was malfunctioning...

I don't think you will get full power even on 2 cores because of how vmware works.

If you run through Bootcamp though it should run exactly as on a PC.

I use Wine in Ubuntu to run a couple of Win programs (Not SketchUp). I understand there's Wine for Mac OS, too.

I used both cores and it renders a lot quicker (it says 2 threads)....but it makes my computer a bit slow whilst rendering thats all, no crashing or anything.
