CS3 windows version how can I run it on...

I want to upgrade my PC and I am thinking of getting an iMAC with 24'' monitor but no one can tell me if I will be able to use my windows version of CS3. I have Lightroom and that seems to run in both platforms.

(This question is not about the Photoshop SDK, which is a tool for

programmers. I will answer anyway, but please post future questions in

a more relevant forum, thanks! ...)



You certainly can't install Windows software directly on a Mac. If you

have Lightroom which runs on either platform its because you have

installers for both Mac and Windows software, which is not what you

get for all programs on the CS3 disks. With rare exceptions you would

need to buy ALL your software again, unless the vendor offers both

versions on one disk, or a way of upgrading between PC and Mac.



However, if the Mac is running Leopard, you can buy and install

Windows XP (full retail version, using a disk which came with a PC is

NOT allowed) and then boot up Windows in place of Mac OS X. Then you

can run CS3 for Windows, and any other of the Windows software you

don't want to buy.



I wouldn't personally recommend buying Vista instead.

You can also run
Parallels which would give you access to Windows applications from within OS X.

Good point, thanks. The same applies: full retail Windows XP is still

needed.
