Hi,
I see from the wonderful interweb that some clever people have CorelDraw 11 MAC running on OS 10.5.
I've always bought legal software and registered it on my PCs and would continue to do so if I could get ANY version of CorelDraw onto my new mac (which runs OX 10.5)!
Please can anyone recomend a way of obtaining CorelDraw 11 MAC?I've used CorelDraw since V3 and would love to continue doing so...
Yes I've tried bootcamp and windows is rubbish and is stuck in a nonbooting loop on my bootcamp partition... typical! So I'd like to complete the transition to MAC 100% CorelDraw is the only software I'm using on a PC and can't wait to go all MAC... Any ideas would be good?Wouldn't it be great if you could buy old versions of the software direct from Corel... for whatever purpose you may have.... re-installs... downgrades... old machines etc..
Many Thanks
Jim (soon to be an Adobe illustrator beginner!)
My advice...go back to windows.

But BootCamp (different flavours for XP, VISTA, and 7) runs Windows XP, VISTA, or 7 great. and therefore any programs I use great. And I use lots of different programs running concurrently most of the time with multiple files open in any given program frequently.
The first time I installed Windows through BootCamp on a Mac Pro desktop. Took my time and it all worked with only a minor glitch. The new versions of BootCamp are preinstalled so not a problem any more at all to get Windows (full version, not an upgrade) up and running.
I use various versions of CorelDRAW right up to X4 for Windows on 3 different Macs (MacPro desktop, MacBook Pro, and an iMac... works flawless with XP or VISTA running on top of BootCamp. It runs every bit as good and sometimes, I think better, than on a native Windows only machine. All the features and capabilities are there. I've tried CorelDRAW 11 native Mac version, but a few years ago now, used it exclusively on a Windows platform... don't miss the Mac platform at all for running CorelDRAW 11 (which I never did seriously for more than some test sessions anyway) or anything else for that matter. If I did videos and audio work a lot, then I would probably like the native OS Mac programs better than anything Windows has to offer. Everything else I do, in small business and charitable organization work, from accounting to graphics to web work to DTP, is Windows only. Works well for me; but then I don't mind BootCamp at all. It's a quick switch if I need to run OSX.
Anyway, X3 and X4 are great... much better than any earlier versions in general although I've had occasion to use Version 3 and Version 6 and Version 12 within the last year. With the variety of work I do CorelDRAW in all its versions has been great to work with for me... very little problems ever running in every version of Windows I used... from 3.x to 95, 98, 98 2nd ed, 2000 Pro , XP Pro and Home, and VISTA Home.
