DW CSS rendering abilities: Mac vs PC

Question

I've read up a little in this forum, but my specific question
isn't answered here.
I use DW8 for the Mac. I have a friend who uses DW8 on the
PC. He made a comment that to use table-less CSS on his DW site
would be very difficult because he can't see a preview of the CSS
rendered in the design view.
In this forum I see that CSS rendering isn't perfect, but it
does seem to work even for PC users.
I'm confused ;-) I use table-less CSS in my DW8 sites and DW
gives me a fairly good idea of how CSS in the page will render. Of
course I always test them with my PC, etc. before going live. The
rendering isn't impossible to work with. Is it possible he needs to
do something in his preferences? My friend is not a newbie,
programs C++, Java, PHP, MySQL but this rendering issue is bugging
me.
This is a serious question. Not trying to get my friend to
buy a Mac (but yes, I am smiling). I just want to understand.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Your friend is mistaken. He needs to check VIEW | Style
Rendering, and make
sure that Display Styles is enabled (I'm assuming that your
friend is also
using DW8).
