Windows Only?

I just want to confirm that this is a Windows only software. If you use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on your Mac you can use it, but you can't run the program natively in Mac OS. Can you please confirm this?

And after this confirmation, are there any plans to bring the software to the Mac OS natively? Thank you.

Could someone from BMD confirm that a Mac/OSX verison of Fusion & Fusion Studio will be released soon?

Also, please confirm that a Fusion dongle will work on both Mac & Windows, so we can buy Windows now, and move to Mac later at no cost?

Thanks, and congrats on this huge announcement about Fusion!

OS X version would be extremely nice.

I have to second this, but also state that the ported version mustn't be some emulator or VM.
Also a real Linux version please.

Would need a mac version if our shop was to ever invest in it... I just thought I would help with the thousands of request they will be getting

Thanks. Been a crazy morning with the news.

Fusion 7 and Fusion 7 Studio are Windows only. No plans have been announced for a Mac version.

I am going to merge this with the other Mac related posts. Just to keep things tidy.

Terry,

Thank you for the update. Really hoping that it does make its way over to the Mac platform. Still excited by the news.

Thank you for response, and the update Terry. Some very exciting news.

Interestingly, the right monitor in the main pic here:

Looks like the mac menu bar

Eyeon developed a version of Fusion for Linux, which is much closer to OSX than Windows. (Both Linux and OSX are related to Unix under the bonnet.)

Fingers crossed that BMD is hard at work developing OSX versions of Fusion.

Eyeon developed a version of Fusion for Linux, which is much closer to OSX than Windows. (Both Linux and OSX are related to Unix under the bonnet.)

Linux is based on an AT&T Unix System 5 clone, OSX is based on a Berkeley Systems Development clone. They're not the same, though they have a lot in common. More significant though is that the UI libraries for OSX are very different. Some of the lower level libraries are, also.

Unix has always been very fractured; there were a lot of variations, and porting even simple applications from one to another was often a pain in the booty. I did it myself several times, and eventually that was enough to drive me to develop in Windows, since OS/2 was while far superior, "backed" (as in "shot in the") by IBM's marketing.

Fingers crossed that BMD is hard at work developing OSX versions of Fusion.

If it wasn't already happening when BMD bought Eyeon, it's probably not in progress yet. My guess however is that there will be an OSX version, the when part is however anybody's guess.

Hello:

Just wanted to let you know that Grant just posted a note at the top of this forum. We are planning on a Mac version, but do not have the timeframe for when that will be available yet.

Thanks

Cool! Hoping for a Linux version since that is what is on my main workstation and render farm and I can make good use of the unlimited render nodes Fusion Studio comes with.

On for the Mac or Linux version, happy to pay. Windows? Not so much.
