The use of the Rosetta emulation software interferes with numerical calculations in SPSS and may give invalid results. We therefore are unable to support any version of SPSS on Intel®-based Macintosh machines _________________ "Liberty, what crimes are committed in your name."

We can't patch our Windows 2000 boxes hooked up to HPLCs because it invalidates the OS... They'll get owned on occasion if we're not careful. I suspect that SPSS can't guarantee the validtiy of Rosetta backed calculations so they take the safe road. There's really no point to validate it if they want people to eventually buy a universal version.

Get a few p values wrong and people go a little crazy, _________________ "Liberty, what crimes are committed in your name."
