Summary: Mac Users Too
Review: The Disc that comes in the box will include the installers for the Mac version of the software in addition to the Windows version. Just so you mac users know we haven't been left out in the cold :)

I'm a bit biased so don't know that I can offer an honest review of A:M... I did write the book on how to use it so I would obviously have some ulterior motives. But if you want to pursue character animation either as a hobby or a future career, there is no other package out there at even close to the price of A:M that delivers more character bang for the buck. Is it perfect? well no... but then neither is any other piece of software A:M has it's little idiosyncrasies, and 3D is still a complex and deep subject for any one to tackle (a good book perhaps? ;) ) But the workflow and the animation tools alone make A:M worth the price. A:M also has a dedicated and friendly community of users that has been helping newbies come up to speed for over a decade, one of those not in the box features that really adds value to the product.

Cons? A:M does not an industry standard approach to modeling. (which some of us who don't like modeling in the first place actually would consider a pro.) So if you want to learn to model for a career you might consider another program.
