I need to deploy my apps on Mac (pre- and post-OSX) and on PC. I also
work in two locations, with the most suitable (fastest, etc)

In a 3TB fileserver you need something that can handle oh-so-many files!

Just one more detail :
On Mac, move (or duplicate) a file on the desktop
(to retrieve it easier).
Then check the location of that file : you'll probably
find it at the higher level of your HD, which is logical.
Now do the same in Windows XP...
Did anyone say productivity ?

I've developed projects for both machines. You will be more

I develop on Windows for Windows. I've tried developing on a Mac and things

Well, I only have one thing to say on this thread.
I will need to produce apps for Windows with Rev on my Mac; I like Rev's
ability to do cross-platform builds. I expect problems from time to time,

those working in Windows.
