The current Mac operating system is macOS, originally named 'Mac OS X' until 2012 and then 'OS X' until 2016. Developed between 1997 and 2001 after Apple's purchase of NeXT, Mac OS X brought an entirely new architecture based on NeXTSTEP, a Unix system, that eliminated many of the technical challenges that the classic Mac OS faced. At PowerMax, we sell new and used Macs. Our used Macs often come with previous versions of Mac OS X, and our customers sometimes would like to know what the differences are between different versions. The following article is a synopsis of each major OS X version since OS X 10.4 Tiger.
We have discussed from our previous blog post that the FORScan software requires a Windows OS emulator, such as the VirtualBox Emulator, for it to run on Mac OS X computers. In this blog post, we're going to talk about another app that you can use to run FORScan on a Mac OS X computer - it is called the Crossover App.
The CrossOver app allows users to run thousands of Windows applications on a Mac computer, without having to purchase a Windows license and a virtual machine. Here are the steps on how you can use the app to run FORScan on your Mac computer:
