    Default Xara for Mac? - Probably not!

    Saw this image just recently.

    Whilst the logo on the side of the boxes shows Windows, the images on the front shows a MacBook.

    So, is there something we don't know?
    If not, then in that case, they should have used a different Laptop.
    Don't you think?!

    Well, a few of the TG-ers use Xara software on a Mac using a Windows emulator.

    I'm not betting on it.

    Yes, Boy.
    I used to do that.

    But, that's not what the image is showing.
    It's showing a MacBook. Which seems to indicate that Xara can be used on a Mac.

    Not quite, Acorn.

    This was taken from a post from Xara's Facebook page, dated 1st December 2017.

    Whole Mac - PC separation is totally artificial today as both are more or less the same, x86 PC systems assembled from readily available parts. Only difference is the software side and if anyone wants to run Windows software on their MacBooks, they can just install Windows for that.

    I haven't ever gone to their FB page.

    If the images are real, are they showing a completed website opened on the Mac or the actual Xara applications? Kinda hard to tell on my phone.

    Maybe the image is to emphasise the platform independence aspect of Xara Online Designer.
