Jan, If you have a calibrated monitor (using a calibration device, not just eyeballs), and your viewers have calibrated monitors, they should see what you see.
Otherwise, you have no way to control what the viewers see, because monitors' renditions are all over the place. Your pix look great on this calibrated iMac, and my experience tells me they will look exactly the same on the calibrated Dell monitor (on a HP running Winblows XP) at work. On my colleagues' non-calibrated monitors, it's pot luck, whether they're Winblows or Mac.
