INFORMATION FOR MACINTOSH USERS:

While FoodWorks is guaranteed to function only with Windows operating systems, many Macintosh owners are successfully using FoodWorks on Macintosh computers that have Windows emulation software installed (such as Parallels, Boot Camp, or Fusion). Links to these solutions can be found below.

However, an alternative to emulation software has emerged that is providing Macintosh users with a highly reliable platform for running FoodWorks. That platform is CrossOver Mac from CodeWeavers. CrossOver Mac translates FoodWorks as it runs and DOES NOT require the purchase of a separate Windows license. FoodWorks 13 and 14 have been tested with CrossOver Mac and have earned a gold medal for run-time reliability.

CrossOver Mac runs on any Intel-based Macintosh. And, at just $49.95 for the Standard version, it is the most cost-effective solution for running FoodWorks on a Macintosh.

But the best part is that FoodWorks users can receive a 25% discount on CrossOver Mac. At the exclusive FoodWorks VIA (Very Important Application) page you'll find the discounted purchase option, a CrossOver Mac trial option, and a video describing how to install FoodWorks under CrossOver Mac. There's even a function for installing FoodWorks right from the page! Click the CodeWeavers logo above for more information and to get answers to your questions about using CrossOver Mac.

To take advantage of the CrossOver Mac discount and to install FoodWorks, you must first purchase and download your FoodWorks software. Then click the CodeWeavers logo above, or click the link below, to go to the FoodWorks VIA page. Download CrossOver Mac and then watch the video to learn how install FoodWorks using CrossOver. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Boot Camp: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Please note that the various solutions above depend on many variables including the Macintosh model, the processor type, the Mac OS version, the type of Windows application, and the version of Windows. In all cases except CrossOver Mac, additional cost for a Windows license may be incurred. The Nutrition Company cannot guarantee that any combination will prove suitable for running FoodWorks on a Macintosh. We urge prospective users to compare the costs of the solutions above with the cost of an inexpensive PC, which is sometimes a less costly and more reliable alternative.
