While I am still a big fan of Omnigraffle for mock-ups and prototyping, I am aware of how cool Axure RP is and how it makes sense from an enterprise standpoint.

When I made the changeover to Macs about 3 years ago, I was disappointed that my Axure software could not follow me (I like to keep several tools in my toolbelt so I am ready to hit the ground running in any new contract)

Just today, I got the notification that Axure now has a Mac version of their design software

Its available for a free Trial download:

I recently ran into some issues when trying to upgrade my development software (SDK) so that I could develop iPad applications at the same time as my iPhone application projects.

When trying to install the upgrade, I realized that I needed OS 10.6.X (Snow Leopard). Is this some kind of agenda on the part of Apple to make me upgrade from Leopard?

Now, I’m not saying that $30 is a huge amount to pay for the increased functionality (especially if they actually come through with the 64 bit support). I’m just saying I was annoyed to find out AFTER I tried to upgrade my SDK.

Have others found a work around for this?
Am I the only one annoyed by having to upgrade my OS in order to develop for whatever new toys they put out?
