No, no, no. Who do these guys think they are, McCain ad writers?

Autodesk does NOT invalidate your subscription for running Max on a Mac! If you call to ask questions they will tell you they can't help you but they don't invalidate subscriptions so long as you keep paying them.

Still, it run just fine on a Mac, this is pretty much the same as Autodesk saying they don't support Max on anything but Quadro or FireGL cards. They found a couple bugs they don't want to provide support for so they say "not supported."

Apple DOES support any Mac with a Bootcamp partition. What they don't support is Windows. Go to them with a Windows problem and they'll say "ask Microsoft". Go to them with a busted Mac that happens to have a Windows partition and they'll fix it. Bootcamp is an Apple product that is included with OSX. Installing Bootcamp does not invalidate your warranty.

Your IT guys are the kind of lazy/stupid ones who give IT guys a bad name. You can quote me on that, if you feel ballsy enough to go up to your IT guys and say "the guy on CGArchitect says you're a bunch of freaking idiots who are not qualified for your jobs and should be fired if you don't help me install Vista 64 on this Mac." If they call me during business hours here I will personally bitch them out for you. Then I will give them my cell number, tell them to call back in 10 minutes and walk down the street to the Apple store where I will get an Apple rep to bitch them out for thinking Apple is a bunch of hacks who don't let you run their own software on their hardware.
