So a lot of us on the Flex team now have Macs. One reason is because we have a lot of designers who use Macs anyway. Another is because we obviously build software for Macs, and in running Macs we can actually do tests on both Mac and Windows (via virtual machine). I was entirely a PC guy before I got my Mac about 15 months ago. I don't mind the Mac, but I wouldn't say it's more stable than my PC was, and the inconsistency in how keyboard shortcuts work and whatnot drives me up wall. My IDE is no longer Eclipse/Flex Builder but my email client and Word and PowerPoint, and I gotta say I like the Windows versions better than the Mac.
I think if you are a happy Windows user and don't have a compelling reason to use a Mac you don't need to switch just because it appears others are using it. Not saying the Mac is bad, just saying it hasn't made me a convert. Matt On 10/23/08 12:06 PM, "Clint Tredway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I recently switched to a MAC and love it.

My experience with designing and developing on a mac is that it's more straight forward to use. If you love to inker with your OS and hardware, go Microsoft, for a more straight forward enviroment go OSX. Apple has an very large market share of US laptops - and gaining fast.
