For Rhino5 you just go to the website and sign up. Can't imagine it would be too different. Could be way wrong, havn't had time to look into it yet.
Oh yes, I'd love to see CATIA on OSX
it's a shame the company I work for has just replaced all it unix workstations with windows machines
I can't see them making such a big change again anytime soon
Is it a sign that Apple is sticking with the Mac Pro?
Would have loved to move our Maya licenses to Apple but waiting on new updates.
Not holding my breath
Sorry to say, but I think the Mac Pro has been effective EOL'd. Apple clearly aren't interested in the professional and business sector. How many revisions of competitor workstations have come and gone since the last rev of the Mac Pro?
If you run your business using high end software stick to Linux or Windows, at least you know they aren't going away any time soon and the hardware will continue to be bumped to keep up with the latest software.
Boxx's workstations have been updated four times.
Configure it any way you want.
Your choice of any AMD or Nvidia professional GPUs.
3dsMax + Revit would guarantee Autodesk monopoly
Not me. The 3DSMax interface makes me want to pull out my teeth in frustration. It's kinda obvious that it's the result of 20+ years of tucking new features into whatever corner they can fit in into.
I think Softimage, Maya and others would have made more progress { feature wise } if they were not in Autodesks stable.
It was not so many years ago Autodesk used to have a total aversion to the Mac......this turn around is good news.

I'm sorry, but have you actually tried using AutoCAD 2011 for Mac? It's unbelievably unstable. Crashes ALL the time. They had to release 3 updates and none of them helped with stability. Don't take my word for it, look at Autodesk's own AutoCAD for Mac forum.
This is great news. I've been using Solidworks on Windows and always wished I had something like it for the Mac. This fits the bill perfectly.
Autodesk has my respect.

Make all Autodesk products for Mac as long as it isn't Revit. What's the hold up?
It might run better on a mac osx, I'm running it in boot camp and it's a total dog when the models get large. Besides it the only software I need that runs in windows, and most of the large Architectural firms I work with use it.
3ds Max PLEEEZ!
I currently have to use Max on my Mac through Parallels. While this works well, it compromises my Mac's RAM allocation and means that Max runs more sluggishly. It stops me from using Max as my primary 3D design package (as much as I'd like to). If Autodesk release Max for Mac (with all the bells and whistles), I would pee myself with joy!

Yes, PLEASE release 3ds max for Mac! This has been requested for a LONG TIME!

"Autodesk made headlines back in 2010 when they returned to the Mac platform after a two decade hiatus."?? Maya's been out for Mac since 2001/2002, Autodesk bought Alias (makers of Maya) a few years ago. I was in NYC for the resleases of the 2003 version

He meant Autocad...
look in the deep seas! and you will find your answer!
large fish!
IDK WTF that means, but since you haven't countered my point, it stands: AutoCAD for Mac is an unstable product.

No, he correctly meant Autodesk which makes AutoCAD.
Got 12 Gig! It depends on how hard you drive Max. If you have a high poly count and you are running Max on a Mac through Parallels, you will have RAM issues more than running natively on a Windows PC. And I don't want to go back to a Windows PC's - been there, done that!
