Operating system: Apple: MAC: You are running Microsoft Windows, how to possible check how your software runs on another operating system, like the Apple Mac?

---

If you are not working with an Apple Mac or a virtual machine for it
which runs on Microsoft Windows (because it does not exist), and you
have to test how it should work on the Apple Mac:

-In general if something should work on Microsoft Windows, and you have
 to produce the same action on another operating system (e.g. an Apple
 Mac), one possible brute force solution would be to have the user
 install a virtual machine on the Apple Mac, install Microsoft Windows
 on it, and do the actions in there. That should get things done
 without too much need for conversion.

-In general actions taking place on browser level can be tested on
 Microsoft Windows, using e.g. the 'Apple Safari' browser. Then it
 should almost always work on the Apple Mac afterwards without too many
 changes. Similar for other browsers like Opera, and Mozilla Firefox.

-You can check how your browser software (e.g. your web pages running
 in Internet Explorer) looks on the different operating system browsers
 via e.g.

-Because the Apple Mac's operating system (OS X) has its roots
 originally in (Berkeley) Unix, some of the actions you want to do on
 the Apple Mac could be tested on your Microsoft Windows machine, e.g.
 by using another similar virtual machine (e.g running the different
 Unix dialects, like Linux (Red Hat, Ubuntu, Suse, ...), or Sun Solaris
 (Intel)).

Especially Apple Mac 'console' commands (thus the equivalent of MSDOS
 commands on the Microsoft Windows platform), you could test in such an
 environment.

-E.g. in case of professional involvement, and frequent need to test it
 on a real system, you might ask somebody else to do the testing for
 you on his or her environment, go to such a machine yourself, or
 decide to buy such a machine yourself.
