No, though there are work-arounds for the Mac and Linux. WinAstro will only run on 32 bit versions of Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP or Vista. The only way to run WinAstro on Linux is to install a virtual machine such as VMWare and then install a copy of Windows into the virtual machine (for which you will need a licenced copy of Windows). On a Mac, if it is a model that is running OS X Leopard then you can use the BootCamp facility to be able to boot into Windows. Otherwise, you can install a virtual machine such as VMware Fusion or Microsoft’s Virtual PC (for PowerPC based models only, not Intel) and then install a copy of Windows into the virtual machine. In both of these cases you will need a licenced copy of Windows.
