    Hi!
    Any one out there tried using XaraX (or X1) on a mac that is running Virtual PC?
    I may be one of the few - but I have both a PC and an Apple and prefer the simplicity of Xara. It would be a dream come true to use my Apple with Xara.
    Curious if there is anyone out there that has done this with any success>

    A few here have tried it, and abandoned it after a test or two. It seems the virutal PC slows down xara almost to a crawl... About twice as fast as draw/IA. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Charles (The big bloss at Xara said it was possible to port xara to the mac, but would cost about &frac12 million to do it... cost prohibitive. Xara screams because the machine code is designed that way. It would take quiet a while to get an apple to scream the same way. I think there is more interest in getting xara ported to linux instead... then xara would really scream...
