Running FrameMaker on Mac workstations

[Alan Houser]

Others have answered this question pretty well. Just to add anecdotal 
experience, I and several other FrameMaker consultants/trainers have 
been working almost exclusively on the Mac platform for some time, using 
either Parallels or VMware Fusion to run MacOS and Windows concurrently.

I've been very pleased with the environment and the performance. Do I 
wish I could get away without running Windows? Yes. Is that likely to 
happen? No.

Here's a rather thorough Adobe blog post on the topic.

An interesting tidbit...if you check the properties of Apple's 
PDF-format user manuals, you will still see FrameMaker 6 and 7 with 
surprising frequency.
