YES! Lots of people. Performance seems to be quite good.

Ooops. No go. There is no Fieldpoint interface for the Mac. I have not tried Fieldpoint under VPC. I see no reason it would not work. You can develop the software under the Mac, drag it into the VPC window and then download it into the Fieldpoint RT system.
>1) NI state that LabView real-time is available for the mac, for the PXI platform. Has anyone heard of any plans for it to support the RT system? (the windows Real-Time supports both, and the documentation hints that from a programming point of view, PXI and RT are the same).
The PXI and Fieldpoint RT systems are using a Pharlap realtime O/S. The Mac can compile and target Labview code for this OS for the PXI system.
>2) LabView professional has the ability to generate stand alone executables. Are these windows apps or mac apps?
They are apps for whatever you develop on. It is not a cross compiler, but the Mac LV will build apps for the mac. Winders LV will build for Winders, Linux will build for linux and I leave as an exercise for the student what the Solaris version builds for.

Supposedly you can email questions to email@hidden for Mac specific issues. The other great source with a lot of mac people is the info-labview mailing list. This has not only a lot of users but the NI developers will contribute. <http://www.info-labview.org>
