    RTC is still a Windows application, so I don't think so (or MAC has a way to run windows applications?).

    No RTC only works on Windows. Searc Bing for the following: System requirements + "Dynamics NAV 2009"

    But you could install Windows 7 on your mac, I have a Mac book at home at this just works perfect.

    Here is what to do:

    1. Open Bootcamp configure to boot to Windows 7 DVD
    2. Restart and delete all partitions during installation.
    3. When Windows 7 is install 15 min. later you insert the MAC OS SNOW LEOPARD DVD to get all Windows 7 drivers for the machine. Do not use the Leopard disc, this will just give you compatible errors.

    By Installing Windows 7 on MAC , it will act as a dual boot? Or we can work parallelly on both OS?

    you can use wmvare app for your mac. but this is not so lucky, because the virtual pc has need more than 1gb ram, i recommend 3gb or 4gb.
    that is you need to install with bootcamp and it is means you cannot use both os in parallel. only one at the time.
    im using the same method, because the sql server, the .net technology with visual studio is need 4gb ram and you cannot do it in virtual pc, of course, if you have 6 or 8gb ram, could be okay.

    Yes you can run Windows 7 and MAC in dual boot, but MAC OS will take up space on the harddrive, so if you have plenty of space on the harddrive you can of course choose to have both OS installed.

    I use a MacBookPro as my main Microsoft Windows development box (including for NAV) since 2 years, and I've not looked backed since Apple created the fastest laptop to run Win OS :-)
    I run Windows 7 in VM Ware Fusion 3.0, search on Google : In terms of performance, reliability ... VM Ware Fusion beats the hell out of Parallels and BootCamp ...

    But I don't think that you could run NAV RTC directly on the Mac
