Rod,

You say that like it's a good thing. Name one single well designed piece of windows software (not by Apple, or a port from existing Mac version) that has a decent user interface.

Additionally, not running Windows software is a GOOD thing. If all those windows apps will run, so will all those viruses and trojans.

Bad interface or not, there are a lot of programs out there that are PC only. Quicken and MYOB Premier come to mind. Tons of businesses in Australia run these two apps. That's a big market to tap into. Replace those ugly Dell boxes out front with a Mac Mini, and run the usual Mac Office apps with Quicken or MYOB.

Then all those schools who have ditched Macs years ago can be migrated back, not losing out on the thousands of dollars spent on software.

As much as you would hate to think it, we do have a use for some Windows software out there :-)

Seeya

Rod!
