Apple Users may run QuoteSoft products in Bootcamp - this is a separate partition from MAC OSX on which a stand-alone installation of Windows is running. This allows the user to run Windows OR MAC OSX but not both at the same time. Because this is "normal" installation of Windows, this environment is supported. Running QuoteSoft products within the MAC OSX environment (in Parallels, for example) is not supported.
