axiant under os x

[Darren Reely]

Cognos tools are not available for OS X. Only the Windows platform.

You have only three possible questions to ask. Has anybody run the 
Cognos BI tools or Axiant on a PC emulator running on OS X? Has anybody 
used OS X web browsers, such as OmniWeb or Safari, with the browser 
interfaces of the BI tools? Is Cognos porting Axiant and the BI tools to 
Mac OS X?

Here is a small paragraph from their marketing paper "Managed Reporting 
with Cognos Series 7". 'Cognos Web-based applications deliver reporting 
using only HTML and PDFs — no Java applets, or plug-ins are required. 
The zero-footprint client eliminates browser-compatibility and firewall 
security problems, and significantly reduces the drain on bandwidth and 
other IT resources.'

I get very cautious when a company says, 'zero-footprint client 
eliminates browser-compatibility'. That statement _strongly_ says the OS 
X browsers should work properly.

Anyhow, I'm also interested in resposes to this question.
