Your comments remind me of the effusive praise from Pravda back in the 80's over how the smaller selection of consumer goods for Communist citizens translated into higher quality. What the hell. It's all you have. You can't turn piss into wine.

It doesn't equate. Mac users are used to quality software, so the crap stuff dies quickly, while it lives on in the Windows world.

Funny though, I don't remember that from Pravda. Me and my friend used to listen to Radio Moscow on shortwave for laughs, and all I got was that production and harvests were always at an all-time high (at a time we were exporting wheat to the USSR), and that we should all vote for Mondale because he'll save the world (while we had a Reagan portrait on the wall).

LMFAO! Put down the bong and go to Office Depot or Circuit City or your favorite software store and try to find Mac software. The fact remains that there isn't very much of it. Software vendors just aren't willing to stick their necks out for a company with a mere 2% of the desktop market. Just doesn't make economic sense.
