Fountain Valley, Calif., May 1st, 2000 - Macintosh users can now use popular Windows-based software, without installing cumbersome software emulation packages, like Virtual PCTm or Soft WindowsTm, to run Windows 2000 applications on Macintosh platform. The new browser support announced today by Personable.com, the first Application Service Provider (ASP) offering a full spectrum of "shrink-wrapped" software for rent over the Internet via standard web browsers, is the first in ASP space to serve Windows 2000 Applications to the Macintosh community.

They just need to point their browser to www.personable.com, subscribe and get back to work. There is no charge to open an individual account at Personable.com. Accounts are activated instantly and users can try out new software immediately.
