[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 640597, member: 38864"] OUchie... well I can certainly understand that! Unfortunately, you really are stuck with dual-booting OSX and Windows to use Maya (or so I would think) and most games for certain. I've not had good experiences with any games yet in VMWare Fusion, even relatively simple ones from 8-10 years ago! I'll be perfectly honest though... booting out from one OS to another gets old QUICK! You could try running those apps under Crossover. That's a 3rd-party app that lets you run Windows apps under OS X without the whole overhead of an emulator and second OS running. Support is hit or miss... some things work better than others. Many things not at all. But the apps/games that do work well work VERY well.... as if they were native to OS X. I checked the compatibility database and Maya is listed as not working, though that's a year or so since last mentioned. Flight Simulator, depending on the version, works to an extent, though again there's no mention of how it works with the current Crossover versions. [/QUOTE]
