Why does it say it is not supported on my system?? Is this only for Intel Macs?? If so- why isn’t there one made for power pc?
Running Mac OS X?
Since when you can install windows on a power-pc mac?
Please Release a powerpc or universal binary for this. A lot of us can’t afford to replace our good old powerbooks with a new macbook pro just yet… :-\
