One of the biggest BS moves apple did was require a Mac to publish iPhone apps. This is why developers all of the sudden started using Macs.

No, it was because with OS X, Apple moved to a solid, true UNIX operating system.

This meant all the tried and true UNIX-isms that developers used on workstations were now available on laptops, ones that ALSO ran MS Word, Excel, easily ran web-based multimedia (which used to be sketchy on UNIX), etc.

LMAO. If that’s the case Linux would have already been a great dev platform.

You know it was the iphone app deal. BTW: If OSX is so great why did photoshop apps go to windows and become more popular than on Macs. Used to be Macs were the artist platform?
