After nearly 20 years of being anti-Mac, Autodesk is finally bringing back AutoCAD, the very popular 2D/3D design software, to the Mac. Autodesk ditched the Mac OS back in the early 90′s (as did many other software manufacturers and users)
Starting this October, you too can pay $4000 for AutoCAD on your Mac. So nany-nany poo poo to the PC users who say they only use PC because of AutoCAD.
Autodesk is also reportedly working an a version of AutoCAD that will work on the iOS. Clearly you aren’t going to be building the Sears tower on your iPhone, but you will be able to view and make minor changes to files on any of the iDevices (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch…need clarifications just in case the iTV comes out).
While I probably won’t be buying AutoCAD, I’m sure glad to see it back on the Mac – where it belongs!!!
