X5 and Windows 8??

[Doug Park]

Currently the demand for Chief on tablets is almost exclusively for iPad.

We expect that to change over time.

At this point we are focused on making a Mac version of Chief that also makes it a lot easier to move to other platforms. Once we have that version we will be focusing more effort on seeing what we can get running on tablets. Look for a beta of our Mac version next fall.

Our efforts will be focused on the larger markets first and then the smaller ones.

Currently the Windows 8 ARM market is almost nonexistent in comparison to other markets, such as iPad and Android, but we do expect it will grow. We just don't know by how much it will grow and our availability of libraries to run on ARM is currently a limiting factor.

Our goal is to be able to move to any of these new platforms very quickly, but we still have quite a bit of work left to get to that point.

Eventually I expect that we will support the Windows 8 ARM platform. But I think we are at least 2 years out on that. We need to finish our Mac effort first.

Greetings Doug,

I'm ready to invest in the newly released Macbook Pro 2013 and I have saved funds to purchase Chief Architect. I'm apprehensive to purchase Chief for Windows fearful that within a couple months a mac version will be released.

Could you give any indication when the Chief Architect for Mac will be released? I really don't want to partition my new Mac and then pay for Windows OS just so I can run Chief.

I love my Mac and I love Chief, dreaming of the day these two will marry and create beautiful designed buildings all over the world!

Eagerly awaiting your reply.
