PokerStars Releases Long-Awaited Mac Software
PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker site, is releasing its long awaited
Mac software (now in beta-stage*). The native OS X version is fully downloadable, as opposed to being an online web browser client. Obviously this is lauded by Mac users since download versions typically run better and have more features then java web browser poker rooms.
Early reports from Mac users on the new PokerStars software are positive. The menus contain the same features as the PC version, and the tables seem to be running smoothly. A few secondary features are missing; for example, the PokerStars Mac beta does not include the layout manager or preferred seat features.
Here’s is a screenshot of the Mac version of the PokerStars software:
