BEING IN THE MEDIA Industry ill lay it down for ya... PLAIN and simple.

Macs for years were the standard PERIOD.

-They had the software,
-They had the reliability
-They had speed, power, and OS refinement needed to be the favourite.
-MOST of all, when it came to ANY grapohics suite, MACS were the way to go.

BUT this all changed a couple years ago... The day Apple decided to give up its proprietary superiority and go the way of Intel. (Not to mention they were going to fall behind anyways since the G family was not keeping up with the Intel's and AMD chips.

-SO The once mighty superiority of the apple platform had vanished, and now technically speaking, Speed wise, benchmarks have shown the PC's match MAC's.....

-The software giants are no longer going exclusively MAC, Adobe has come to match Final cut pro with Premier, and overtake Apple in the post production department with after effects. Quark once the only standard (Page Maker being a joke)... Is now being threatened by Indesign.

-OS refinement really became an almost null issue with the launch of Win2k. PC's showed they were just as stable at that point (if not more stable), and launch after launch, Microsoft is keeping pace with its own GUI..... Keeping it plushy, and quirky for the bustling masses.

SO where does the problem lie ?

-Image.. IT is ALL about image. Mac's have it, PC's do not. and by nature, idiots are attracted to bright shiny things......

(Do not get me wrong though, I have a Dual G5 work horse machine AND I LOVE IT, but the day I spend 5k for a fully loaded Intel Mac..... YA RIGHT .
