Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I recently bought a Mac but can't seem to justify the purchase to myself completely a month after. There are several areas where Windows still holds primacy over the Mac and there seems no way out in terms of my daily usage. These are: * DRM streaming: Some DRM video streaming is still only limited to Windows. Quite frustrating when you are hoping for a speedy conversion to the Mac. * Lack of VoiceOver accessibility support. VoiceOver as far as I can tell, does not support the onMouseover event handler. Maybe you folks have a solution for this? * Flash support: As far as I know, VoiceOver still does not support Flash How many years have we had support in Windows. Eight, perhaps? How do folks who have made the near complete Windows-to-Mac transition work around this short of switching to Windows? Happy for folks' perspectives. Thanks.
