    Search the term Apple or MAC around here, topic comes up
    weekly and there is no need to start another dead-end thread
    about it this week.

    buy a MacBook with Intel dual cpu and install Windows XP and then you can
    run AutoCAD on a Mac.

    This question has been asked several times and answered. As such, nobody
    really jumped on this right away. Sorry about that. As this particular
    inquiry has become a topic of Deelip Menezes' blog
    (http://www.deelip.com/index.htm), I decided to supply an answer that you
    have probably already figured out by now. Autodesk has no current plans to
    develop AutoCAD for the Macintosh. At one point we considered porting our
    Autodesk DWF Viewer to the Macintosh but upgraded that strategy to provide a
    platform neutral solution via Project Freewheel (http://dwfit.com). As Shaan
    Hurley points out on the comments to Deelip's blog:

    Actually AutoCAD was available for the Mac back in the R11 and R12 days as
    well as DOS and UNIX. Developing large applications and features and UI
    elements that may be platform dependant is not easy unless you aim for the
    lowest common denominator. We at Autodesk are always watching the market for
    each product for what makes sense and our users are asking for. We also have
    product teams that develop currently on Linux, Mac and others. So contrary
    to the rumor, we are not tied to Windows in some secret handshake meeting,
    but that the Windows platform is dominant in CAD customer requests and use
    environments.
