fredi Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Does anybody know if you can switch platforms from mac to windows and what does it cost? Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I made the switch in '99. I think it was around $310.00, but it was also an upgrade (may have been from 7 to 8). I don't know about converting the same version from one platform to the other. Give the sales dept a call. George Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I've had several reports of VW running better on PC's. One of these is from a VW mac using architect - he lives here in Perth, but does most of his work in London so flies back and forward on a regular basis. The office he deals with in London has a mix of platforms and he reports that VW does appear to run better on their PC'S - substantially so. He is quite frustrated by the performance on his Mac and dreads the thought of being forced into switching to a PC. I like many others hope that Apples 'Tiger' release does in fact overcome the current problems with handles, OIP delays, OIP hibernations and the OpenGL rendering issues. If it doesn't more of us may have to consider the switch. Quote Link to comment
Niblick Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I also did the same last year. I bought a used license which was mac, confirmed with the VW people that I could upgrade to windows person and now have VW11 Landmark after using AutoCAD for about two years. Soooo happy with the change!! Brian Phillips Golf Course Architect www.niblickgolfdesign.com XP Quote Link to comment
Seena Hassouna Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 IT'S funny to hear someone say that going from Mac to Windows is an upgrade! I would agree with the Autocad to VW part. do you find that VW runs better on PC's? thanks, Seena Quote Link to comment
