I'm excited to see you had no problems. This is my first mac and that parallel software is just plain awesome. Thanks for the encouraging post. Chris Hi Tod,

I just did the same thing, but now I’m getting ready to install VFP9. I’m excited to see you had no problems. This is my first mac and that parallel software is just plain awesome. Thanks for the encouraging post.

Our main application is totaly based on VFP9SP2 and it works perfectly on XP inside Parallels on Mac. Even the coherent mode with the win/vfp-app-window flying free on the mac desktop is not only looking great, but (still) working good. Of course it very sad that years ago vfp for mac was shelved (wouldn't it be great to have a carbon.based Mac VFP with cross-plattform ability?), but the VFP-in-XP-by-Parallels-on-Mac scenario is a valid and full functional one. @Tod: Shouldn't your Mac be called "HarryPotter"? Now "Voldemort" is residing inside of "Dumbledort" which is irritating to Potter-fans ;-))) So have lots of fun on the Mac and well, if time permits, perhaps in a few months have another report on how things developed with production work on vfp.mac.

If I had known it would work this well I would have switched much, much sooner! Hi Eric,

I’m still in awe. If I had known it would work this well I would have switched much, much sooner!

I use VMWare myself and loathe having to use Windows. I now try to do all my development, except Fox, in Mac. Nice move! Tod, I agree that it’s pretty slick.
