No, its a website for viewing clients financial portfolios. Its a very Java-burdened site. For some stupid reason, the Java parts of the website absolutely wont load in OSX. I've tried everything....FireFox, Camino, Safari, Shiira, IE, etc to no avail. I called the website designer and he gave me some BS answer saying that as long as I use FireFox it should work....but it doesnt.sushi said:
Oh well, until these stupid developers recognize us Mac guys, I continue to use XP (although as little as possible

I assume that when you use Safari, you are using it with the Debug menu where you can make it reply as an Win IE client.
I wonder if there is a plug in that is needed. With Windows, you have to load Java so maybe something doesn't automatically get loaded on the Mac side?
Do you have the latest vesion of Java installed on your Mac. Might be worth a visit to http://www.java.com/ to check if you have the latest version installed.
I hear ya on using XP. I have to use it with my job but find that I use it very little otherwise. Definitely prefer Mac OS X.
Sigh, another bunch of retards
Another article providing information for those of us wanting to run Windows on our Macs, and it's polluted with retards who have to ask why.
Why you retards click on these articles is beyond me, but just to make sure we hit the million mark, here's why...
I have one or two apps that I need to run for my job which are Windows only. I want to buy a MacBook Pro, because in all other aspects I prefer the Mac, and there are also Mac only apps that I need to run. This means that I can either buy (and friggin carry with me) two portable computers every day, or I can carry one MacBook Pro and boot into Windows when I need to.
Gamers may have their own reasons.
Switchers may want to do this so they can offset software cross-grading costs.
Some may want to try Windows, or have it on hand for Windows using friends and family members who want to use the computer.
The list goes on and on...
As far as the article is concerned, I wish they would define safe based on end user reports. If the worst case scenario is reformatting the drive and re-installing everything, well, that's something I can easily live with since I back up religiously. But if the worst case scenario is hardware failure, that's not something I'm willing to take the risk on.

Someone should have told you at an early age that you won't get anything resembling an intelligent discussion if you start off by insulting you entire audience.MacSlut said:

I wasn't really expecting "offiicial Apple support" more along the lines of more forums giving the best "official" information they can. However I wouldn't try putting XP on a Mac until people start using XP on a Mac more and "iron out the bugs" of the whole OSX/XP dual boot thing.
