Since I am primarily a Windows and Android type of guy, I am even more interested by the other announcment Accordance made that a Windows version will be available in 2013.
Downloaded and installed it a week ago. Very well done overhaul of the user interface. I think Accordance is going in the right direction with this software. I too was somewhat surprised by the announcement of a Windows native version in 2013. I bought my first Mac in 2010 specifically for running Accordance.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many die hard Mac enthusiasts will lament Oaktree's decision to release a native Windows version vice running it on a Mac emulator? I guess we'll see!

Accordance has always done a great job of making their software work intuitively like other Mac programs, so I am interested to see how it translates to Windows. I do applaud their decision, however. As a teacher, it is difficult demonstrating Bible software in the classroom if people are using different programs based on whether they are using a Mac or PC (or Android...). At least with the same program, it shouldn't be as much of an issue whether you are using Accordance on a Mac or PC.
ReplyDeleteTrue, one thing I have found is that e-sword, while not particularly powerful is simple to use and has a wide range of resources. Additionally it runs well on WINE within Linux and Mac. But back to Accordance, I think Oaktree will do right by the Windows community by providing a replica of the Mac version we Mac folks have enjoyed for so long.
