You are when you stated that Xactimate is not compatible with Mac OSx.
So what are your options to be able to run this application on an Intel Based Mac?
1. *[_Crossover for Mac_|http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac>* is one product that runs several Windows based applications under Mac OSx without installation of Windows. However, this option is out for Xactimate since it *does not* support Xactimate.
2. *[_Vmware Fusion_|http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion>* is one product that will run under Windows under OSx. In this setup you run Windows and OSx at the same time. You will need to buy both, Fusion and Windows. You will sacrifice Windows operational speed with this setup.
3. *[_Boot Camp_|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1656]* is one product available from Apple with Leopard installed computers and also exists on all Leopard Installation disks. This product installs Windows on its own partition on the HD and therefore you can run Windows at its native speeds. Windows runs separately from OSx with this approach. You will need to buy a copy of Windows.
Option 2 and/or 3 will get you where you want to be with Xactimate.
