What windows program are you using on your mac?

[Jon-Luke]

Since switching to mac in 2007 I found that most of my Windows programs had Mac alternatives - for a while I kept a windows version of a specialist program called sunPATH which I eventually decided to pay the fee for the Mac version because switching over to Windows just wasn't worth the hassle any more.

Currently I don't run any Windows programs any more - I find no reason at all. Am I missing out, or is it basically gamers who need the windows functions?

If you are using windows on your mac what programs are you running?

Maybe there is a mac replacement that would make your life easier...

Many have a special program for work that requires it with no Mac equivalent

Others require absolute compatibility with MS Office... usually Excel

There are as many reasons as there are users

I can't find a free Mac burning program as good as imgburn on the PC. I always end up dumping Safari for Firefox, although I don't know if that counts. Quicktime is rubbish, VLC is better.

Most of those don't count as Windows programs though, more cross platform.

I also prefer firefox to safari (But there's a mac version) and I prefer Entourage to Mail (But that's thats the Mac version of Microsoft office)

For burning I used to use Nero now I use Toast (Lacie has some pretty good free software available - depending on what you need to burn, here's a link: http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers/index.htm?id=10011 )

Digital Fusion and Motion Builder mostly. Before there was Houdini too but it's now available in yummy OSX flavor. Some other little stuff too I guess.

Have you tried using the Linux version of imgburn and Wine on your Mac?
