Any Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher. Don't get caught up with a bunch of proprietary files that very few others can read and which you won't be able to read unless you keep upgrading (which is also incredibly expensive). SAS/JMP Statistical Discovery Software is an award-winning interactive, visual, intuitive. If you're thinking about this software, I suggest you stop - unless you really, really like expensive toys you can only play with by yourself. R open-source statistical software releases 2.9.1. Other Compatible Software (not required): SAS 9.4. JMP add-in for Excel requires one of the following: Office 365. SPSS, on the other hand, is almost ubiquitous. Azul Zulu Version 8.38 - minimum JRE of Oracle version 1.7 needed to connect JMP with SAS software. Perhaps most importantly, very few people use JMP, which makes porting files around almost impossible. JMP is also very, very weak in comparison to SPSS - which as a lot more sophisticated operations, comes in at $1700, and has been UB for a while now. For the $1500-yes, I said FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLAR-single-user license fee, one would think SAS could do a little more on the development end, especially since there's been two new versions (6 & 7) that have come out since version 5 (the one still mentioned in the description as of this writing) in 2002 - again without a UB upgrade.
Wow! February 2008 and it still isn't a universal binary.
