Are there any development plans for being able to access the business portal on a Mac (other than Parallels)?

    This is a great suggestion, Brian - I will propose this to our sys admins!  Thank you for the suggestion.

    We have this problem at our university - some of our users have parallels.  For others, we have created a few virtual desktop windows 7 systems that they can access through a web browser.  Basically, the mac users launch a browser on their Mac OS X system, type in a URL for our "cloud" VMWare environment and login.  They then have a full windows OS displayed within their web browser and can launch Internet Explorer from there to use the business portal.

    Thank you for the response, Jonathan.  By "other ways around this" are you referring to installing Parallels or another means?

    No there is no plans for MAC support on BP. The problem I believe is that MAC's do not support Active X (I could be wrong). There are other ways around this, I will let the community respond.
