I have just moved from using Windows all my life to Mac OS Lion. My accounting software "Tally" does not run on it. Please help !

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to buying a Mac Book Pro running on OS Lion. But my accounting softwares Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 do not run on it.

I just learnt that the software platform of Tally Accounting softwares are specific to Windows only.

I need to run the accounting software, Mail and several spread sheets and documents at the same time.

Is there some way I can do this on the Mac Lion OS?

Help solicited !

Run Windows concurrently with OS X using VM software such as Parallels or VM Fusion. Or try to find OS X software that can replace your Windows software. I don't know how specialize the accounting software is, but if you can export its data files you may be able to move to different software that does run in OS X.

Tally works fabulously on the Mac, using Parralels Desktop for Windows.

Been using it for many months now.

Unfortunately, Tally , by itself is not compatible with Mac by itself.

Depends if the remote machine is MS server or workstation.

MS server can support many remote sessions at the same time as well as local.

Why not just use bootcamp?

Use windows for work and iOS personally. Job done....

Or ... Go back to windows laptop?
