I would tend to agree with this. While I mainly manage Mac OS X servers, I frequently work with other system admins that manage a Windows server on the same network. I usually have less trouble and am more productive on Mac OS X in comparision. There's another advantage MacOS X has that wasn't mentioned: it's less expensive. I have a couple of clients with Windows on the desktop and MacOS X for a server. Things certainly have changed. > As for the speed of 4D on the two platforms, supposedly 4D 2004.2 + > Tiger brings 4D up to par with the Windows version. Speed is the usual advantage I hear for Windows, which often seems to be true. Anyone have benchmarks that demonstrate how well 4D 2004.2 performs on mac versus win?
