Reply #120: The thing is, though...

that a lot of the fun, creative, assistive software gets prototyped on the PC end, about evenly split between Windows and Linux/Unix. Take the new Safari browser - it has all these cool multi-page/3d displays that allow you to manage multiple web pages at once in a very intuitive visual manner. Awesome...but I've been doing that since last summer. Similarly, iTunes is very good (and is what I use these days) but iTunes appeared quite a while after WinAMP, xmms etc. had been around for several years. Don't even get me started on things like Compiz. I work in the arts and I can't stand using a Mac, it slows me down a lot of the time.
