Ok so years ago I bought bauhaus Mirage, a very robust animation program for my mac. At one point, after an OS upgrade, it didn't run properly any more.

I installed Windows 7 on my Mac recently (via bootcamp), and I gave it another shot and BOOM... it works! This is a quick animation I did to try to familiarize myself with the interface.
