I back this request. The current situation for Mac Users is very frustrating.
I’ve been using Rhino from V4 starting on Windows and have been upgrading to every version up to V6.
After 7 years an upgrade to my 2014 MBP was inevitable and paying a lot of money for a newer intel mac just for Rhino was no tempting option so I went for the new 14".
I wasn’t completely aware that this decision would make my V6 Rhino obsolete so I’m still using an ancient MacMini to keep Rhino running. Paying 600€ just for having access to v8 beta is very unattractive especially as I don’t need Rhino for my daily job but mainly for personal art projects.
I would instantly prepay a V8 Upgrade without any access to V7.
Regarding the ARM-situation it would be great if McNeel could reconsider options for Macusers here, either pre-sales of V8 or open public betas
