    You can't open the application Powder because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

    I have that problem with my macbook pro. I don't think there is anything that can be done... but there may be a way around it that I haven't seen.

    If you are desperate, you could install ubuntu, which doesn't require you to un-install OS X/ Windows. Before you do, if you do, you would have to know how to run it in ubuntu, as it is not as simple as you might think. (not too complicated)
    Ubuntu (linux OS) is free.

    1. What if you try compiling the source for a Mac? You get the freshest release around, get compiling skills and good support.
    2. OR you just could make a virtual machine (probably VMWare Fusion for Mac) and put Windows on it. Then you got side-by-side windows and mac.(some key combination switches between the two)

    Your Mac will handle both. Cause it's a desktop. The first option could be better.
