I took out the option for "We don't care" because that option wouldn't answer my question. I have posted this poll due to the many misinformed remarks by PF1 members on the current "6 months and counting with Vista" thread regarding the supposedly limited amount of apps available for Macs. Not quite true since you have posted a meaningless comment. If you really weren't interested you wouldn't have left a comment. Hmmm I'm sure I thought you might have at least ticked the 1st box judging by some of your comments Pete. There is one happening on Wednesday morning US time (Thursday NZ) Seems to be a bit of debate over the form factor of the new iPod at the moment so will have to wait and see. Your probably going to be hearing more from Mac users including the ones you work with as the platform expands, Leopard is released and more Windows users look at it as an option. Blame the Mac BU at MS for Office 2008. I'm using trialling iWork which is compatible with MS Office. Parallels, VMWare and Bootcamp are all designed to enable a multiplatform environment on one system. According to reports VMWare is doing the best of the 3 choices. All after I think. But is the choice of 50,000+ Windows apps any better or just the same than the Mac equivalent for getting the job done? Photoshop 5.5 and Freehand 9 were good and still are very capable. Since then things have been onwards and upwards for the various versions of OS X. The box representing 10,000+ apps would be an accurate measure of apps available for the Mac platform today. No I think beeswax34 is serious I would imagine the split is possibly proportional for free stuff in relation to the size of the two platforms. I absolutely forgot to add another 170,000 FREE unwanted apps to the Windows platform. Thanks for the reminder plod I didn't get ripped off either, and I didn't have to build anything to enjoy creating stuff on the Mac. I haven't missed out on anything, I have great memories of growing up, family trips, etc etc, 2 1/2 years of travel overseas on my OE with hundreds of photos of those memories. I now have a computer that I enjoy using as well from a company that designs great hardware and an OS to go with it. It is probably something similar to people who appreciate great architecture or great landscape design by great designers. Just out of interest and aside from posting links to certain tech related articles, why am I or what am I supposed to change? Considering I am very happy with my current computing setup. No doubt and every one of them clueless. Trust me, if I had wanted to remain solely on the Windows platform and susceptable to malware etc I would have replaced my old PC with a newer one running XP Pro. I am not a PC builder and don't have any interest with tinkering inside the case to replace the latest CPU/GPU/mobo or what ever. I just wanted a computer that was no fuss, no registry cleaning required and very little or no system maintenance required ever. And that is what I have. Sounds like I need to leave a box of tissues and the world's smallest violin for you guys. :stare: |
