Subject: SPSS Proactive Notification - SPSS for Mac is not supported on
Rosetta emulation software

SPSS does not support the use of any existing version of SPSS for Mac OS X on the new Intel®-based Mac hardware. 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.  

We are currently working on a release, SPSS for Mac 15.0, compatible with the new Intel®-based Mac hardware.  We expect that release to be complete summer of 2007.  This release will bring our version of SPSS for Mac in line with SPSS for Windows releases.  

Please see resolution 62077 (dated 1/11/2006) for information on SPSS for Mac 11.0.x and see resolution 66648 (dated 7/31/2006) for SPSS for Mac 13.0. This information can be accessed by selecting the "Knowledgebase Search" link found under the "Quick Links" menu item on the Support Web site. You will need your Support Web site User Id and Password to access this information. If you have forgotten your user id or password you can use the "Find Password" feature on our Web site. This can be found at: http://support.spss.com/password.html

SPSS apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused. We are continually striving to provide proactive communication to our clients. However, if you do not wish to receive further proactive e-mails from SPSS Support, just reply to this message with REMOVE on the subject line. 

Thank you,
SPSS Technical Support
