"E-on software's products are available worldwide ... for both Microsoft Windows and Apple Computer's Mac OS X platforms, making full use of the native software and hardware acceleration."**

This quote is taken from the 'about' section  of e-on's web site. So I interpret it as 'our software works just as well on Macs and on PCs.'  Combined with their specification of system requirement it constitutes the premise that a buyer can expect vue to work on a mac.
That's why suggesting to mac users to use a PC is almost irrelevant. I took the information they provided on their site with me to the apple shop when I bought my computer to make sure it complies with their specification. It did then and it still does. It isnt a special arrangement of hardware - just a standard macbook pro, I only added memory to it.  So there is no excuse for it not to work. V6 worked very well. V7 doesnt. It isnt my 'personal' problem, many (very capable) users have problems. Why is it so surprising that we want the problem fixed?
If they decide to drop the mac platform - so be it. At the moment they claim it's supported - so let them support it!

As a side note - Chipp said e-on feels Apple is unreasonably forcing them to use Apple's tools - I dont know which tools these are, but isnt that inconsistent with the statement I quoted above? they claim to make use of platform specific  'hardware and software'?
