LabVIEW on the Mac at Macworld Expo 2008

Question

National Instruments had a very small booth at Macworld Expo this year. They were there nonetheless and I asked them a few questions about the current state of LabVIEW on the Mac.
I also wanted to find out how, and if, a current Windows user like
myself could use a Mac exclusively and still manage to satisfy Windows
based LabVIEW project clients. According to Mike Neil, LabVIEW product
manager, you can have your cake, er… Mac and eat it too. With the use
of virtual machines (vmware fusion, parallels) or bootcamp
(which boots the whole machine into Windows), you can now run your
windows development environment on a Mac and satisfy any Windows
project requirements. Which leaves me asking myself, why am I still on
a PC?

Answer 1

Hey Michael,
With Parallels, VMWare, and Boot Camp, there are certainly fewer excuses to not own a Mac!
Take a look at this article as well:
Developing Data Acquisition Systems on the Mac with Virtualization Technology
It dicusses some of the testing done here with Parallels and VMWare.
