- Hi all,
-
- I wonder if anyone can confirm/deny/speculate about this.
-
- I just received some e-mail from Microsoft's Developers' Mailing List where,
- buried amongst some other extraneous info., it was mentioned that Windows NT
- is now (soon to be) available for PowerMacs. Unless I have totally missed
- what has been going on in this group, I understand that Lightwave 4.0 will run
- under Win/NT. It would therefore follow that Lightwave 4.0 may/will run on a
- PowerMac.
-
- Since I (like many others) am currently in the market for new hardware
- (platform, PAR, software -- the whole shebang) -- any info. about this would
- be greatly appreciated.
-
- I am aware that DEC Alpha systems running NT have been mentioned, but while
- these speed demons may be suitable for 'rendering farms', I'm currently
- slanted more towards the Mac/PC platforms, as I feel that they are more
- 'multi-purpose' and have more industry support (no flames from DEC users,
- distributors on this group please!)
-
- Up 'til now, I've been I've had my sights on high end Pentium systems
- (P-90's/100's), but the release of Win/NT for the PowerMac and Lightwave 4.0
- compatibility with this setup may persuade me to change my mind...
