FileMaker 11 is a solid release that builds on the foundation laid by FileMaker 10. Many of the features specifically allow developers to create better databases more easily.
FileMaker Server has some improvements that include:
* Easier installation and administration.
* Better statistics and easier access to them through the admin console.
* Backup file clone allows you to save the database structure automatically through a schedules script.
* Save and load schedules when migrating to new hardware. This will also save time when upgrading to the next version of FileMaker server.
* Specify user account when running a script on the server.
* Set time limits for script schedules.
* No limit on the number of users...bumped from 999 to whatever.
* Administrative user groups. In a large corporate environment with a shared server, you can now assign administrative access to specific databases only and not the entire server.
Overall, I highly recommend this upgrade for all FileMaker users. It's a great value and welcome upgrade.
If you're still trying to force Excel to be a database tool and need to share and make your critical business data more useful and accessible, there's never been a better time to invest in FileMaker. If you're already a FileMaker user, this is a stable and helpful upgrade.

Amazon.com description of the Operating systems supported is WRONG.

and
Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server v10.6 *, Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server v10.5.8 *
You will not be able to get any support from Filemaker if installed on any other OS. Also it does not even install on Vista.
