per ora, ma non è da molto che ho avuto modo di apprezzare questo sito magnifico, non ho ancora trovato software per MAC. Le software house non li offrono o è solo un fatto statistico legato alla bassa percentuale di fruitori MAC? Saluti.

AdministratorMac users don't get a lot of free love from software developers. Mac giveaways here probably average less than one per month.
You could always run Windows on that Mac using Boot Camp (included with OS X), VirtualBox (free), Parallels (paid), or Fusion (paid). You'd also obviously need a Windows License.

for now, but it's not that long ago that I got to enjoy this magnificent site, I have not found software for MAC. The software companies do not offer them or is it just a statistical fact linked to the low percentage of Mac users? Greetings.
Personally I think it's a combo of both. Nowadays a developer or software publisher can sell software to the Windows, Android, iOS, Windows store, *nix, and MAC user markets. Unless they're pretty big, they don't have the resources to write software for all of those -- MAC users are often the ones who suffer most.
If you're considering solutions to run Windows apps, Purely FWIW...
The problem with most VMs is they're not good for gaming, or anything else where you benefit from actual hardware & lower latencies -- if the VM Host has to run in a full Windows or *nix or Apple OS, you're adding at least one layer of software, while removing a good portion of hardware resources from the total available pool just to run that host OS. The situation's only a bit better for emulators. That doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't use them for games -- a lot of casual games for example don't require all that much in the way of resources -- but only that that's where VMs are weak.
Dual [or multi] booting lets you access everything hardware, but adds the hassle of taking time to switch. I have never been a customer of Apple -- near zero experience with the brand. That disclaimor out of the way, if a PC can boot Apple's OS [e.g. a Hackintosh], I can't see why it would be difficult to boot Windows or *nix from an Apple PC. Apple supplies BootCamp, which is a bit restrictive -- my guess is that with a bit of research there are probably several alternative solutions to be found.

[BTW I have nothing against Apple, any more than I have anything against Nike or Rolex or any brand charging a premium price -- I just have never seen a need to pay that premium. :) ]
