Software products based on DirectX® Technology are likely to grow in market share especially now with the Microsoft DirectX® API has become the premier API of the new X-Box games console.
For Apple, and their new "Digital Life Style"-based on Mac OS X, the ability to "port" DirectX® products quickly and with the minimum effort is a major benefit.
The software industry is driven by a few OS leaders who compete over technology and feature sets. Unfortunately these leaders don't have an equal share of the market and naturally new software products are attracted to the OS leader who has the biggest percentage of the market place. Developers choice of platform is rarely driven by a technological requirement, but usually financial and operational imperatives. Coderus is focused on solving this problem for the Mac OS platform.
MacDX allows software/porting houses to bring DirectX® based products to the Mac OS platform rapidly and cost effectively by providing the DirectX® interfaces and functionality so that the product runs just as it would on a PC.
The MacDX interface integrates all available OS technologies with its own in-house technology to provide a solution which caters for a wide a range of Macintosh hardware and operating systems (Mac OS 9.x and Mac OS X).
