    Dongming,

    You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.

    Project hasn't run natively on a Mac since Project 1997. I see no possibility in the future for Project to ever again run natively on a Mac. I believe Microsoft introduced Project for the Web (P4W) as a starting point to allow running on multiple OS platforms via a browser but P4W is nowhere near being the equivalent of a full featured version of Project and I doubt it ever will be.

    For reference, I've been running Project desktop on my iMac first with Virtual PC and now with Parallels since Project 1997.

    John

    LIU Dongming,

    When you say "Project 5 Desktop" are you referring to the Project desktop client that is part of Project Online Plan 5? If not, what do you mean?

    The only version of Project that is available natively on a Mac is Project for the Web, which is included in the Project Online plans and operates via a browser, such as Safari. If you want/need to use the full-featured Project Desktop Client, you will need to get a virtual PC emulator such as Parallels.

    Hope this helps.

    John
