Does Microsoft Visio work on MACs? If not, are their plans to make it work? Are their comprable tools on MAC?

Visio does not works at Mac. But there is the free file viewer to view the Visio vsdx files. If you want to edit the visio file, you need use some Visio Mac alternative programs, such as Edraw Max.

Srsly, d00d. What a lametard. MAC is also a kind of makeup. If I had to virtually beat up everybody that put Mac in all caps, I'd be one lonely ******* soul. And I'm not. MAC MAC MAC.


Bust seriously, is there anything with the great types of shapes as Visio that works on my Mac? I've been trying out Dia & Omnigraffle. Omnigraffle is the better out of the two (for free anyhow). But, even if I have to pay, is there anything better? Just as easy to use as Visio and with the same amount and kinds of shapes. A lot of the free stuff seems like the shapes aren't plentiful enough. I need various kinds of users, machines (Server, DB, PC, etc.), firewalls... anything?

Hi,


Solved it!!


If you download the free Microsoft Remote Desktop app, (which is rather good). You can access Microsoft Azure Remote App service. There is a free trial, but even after that it's pennies.


If you have a Microsoft Office 365 login, you sign in and will see that you can access Visio from the Remote Desktop. In effect it opens a fully functioning version of Visio in front of you. You can open, edit, create and save.


Simple, elegant, awesome. Really no need to look at anything else (as long as you have an internet connection)


Enjoy
