No idea on Adobe's development practices. I did hear that once from an Adobe staffer but he could have been full of B.S at the time.
For me the choice of OSX really came down to the simplicity of the OS... I find finding documents, apps etc to be more simplified than Windows. Plus i eventually got into the habit of using the Command key more than usual so when it came to using Windows 8, i was the guy who had zero issues with Start Button being removed (given I'd always hit the windows key to tab around, or access menu items - much like my quartz does on OSX). I'd not declare myself a fanboi as I could care less either way on OS but I seem to have developed a more habitual usage of OSX than Windows. --- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.riagenic.com On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 9:13 AM, mike smith <meski...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 8:33 PM, Scott Barnes <scott.bar...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Late reply - been sick. >> >> I use Adobe CC every day and in this situation i'd prefer to keep it in >> OSX mode than Windows simply because it performs better in a Parallels / >> OSX dual environment.
