Unsurprising really. I've only ever seen LabVIEW running on Windows machines. Hopefully this will allow them to ease up a bit on maintenance work and tackle some of their long, long overdue technical debt. Perhaps they can have a file format that's compatible with version control instead of using a modified version of the Macintosh resource fork format, for one.

As far as I remember there was a time LabVIEW only ran on Mac's, but admittedly back then the only common GUI machines around were Mac's and Sun workstations. (Windows existed but was in it's barely usable pre 3.11 state).
