DarkestDream Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hey guys,Im planning to buy 15-in MacBook Pro for $2000. I need more info about some win software can works in Mac, i know OpenOffice.org and Firefox works in Mac. But what about Java? I know it entirely based on win. But Is there any mac apps or software that use java to make it work?I went to java.com to look if they have a support for Mac but nothing.... I need more info about Mac supported softwareThe reason why i am going for Mac because of their graphical and film editing. they the best for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't know much about Macs, so I can't help much. I searched the Apple Support Downloads and came up with this though. Hope it helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Open Office, Firefox and jave are not windows apps. They are apps that has a windows version. They also have a version that works on Mac os an linux. As for java it comes installed on your mac when there is a java update it will appear in your software updates. You don't have to think about it.When ever your looking for Mac software check Mac update. Edited June 11, 2006 by isteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
