However, the landscape has now changed and it all comes down to the fact that all current Apple hardware are based on Intel processors rather than the aging PowerPC. I'd love to see Autodesk port Revit to the Mac, but commercially I don’t think its viable, well that’s what Autodesk insiders have told me in the past. I'd go as far as to say that over half of these are Mac users running Vectorworks. I live near Winchester, Hampshire,UK and this is a strong hold for architectural firms. A lot of architects still use Mac's, its just one of those design things. I meet a lot of architects and designers in my role and I have lost count how many have asked whether Revit runs on the Mac.

These days I don’t got too bothered about the platform wars, because to me its just an interface to your hardware, Revit as a BIM platform excites me more.

I personally love the Mac environment, but I have learned to get on with PC's and the Windows platform. My first computer was a Macintosh LCII, if anybody can remember one of those? I've worked for companies which have used both platforms. This is often a hot topic on the Revit AUGI forums and it some times gets very heated! Whats better, Mac or PC? Well, I've been a long term Mac user as well as a Windows PC user.
