The next Mac OS, Leopard, is rumored to have the ability to
simultaneously run Windows, Linux and Mac. All files can be
dragged and dropped seamlessly regardless of the parent O.S. No
shutting down and rebooting. This is a big deal. Instead of
waiting around for nice programs like Rhino to be ported to the
Mac, we can do it the other way around- the Mac won't give a
damn. I've got my fingers crossed. Available in about 3 or 4
months. :) Jerry
I hope it works. Sounds like another nail in the coffin of ms windoze.

Jerry,
I have been running various builds of Leopard for several months
now. I can report that, as great as it is, it does not natively run
Windows, or Linux.
A great piece of software is Parallels which allows the Mac OS on an
Intel processor to run all flavors of Windows including Vista,
without a reboot. It's simply running in another window. Works very
well on Rhino. My caution would be about running huge Rhino files
that are very deep and consequently the refresh is not so snappy as
running it under Boot Camp which does require a reboot into the Dark
Side.
Let's see what happens in the final release...maybe your wish will
come true. See

Anyone who's seen Vista and what a cheap shot it is vs. the Mac OS,
would be amazed if they spent 15 minutes with an OS that is
lightyears ahead. It never ceases to amaze me that mediocrity has
such a foothold.
