Danny
Thank you for your apology
I think that Flitestar and ProPlan will do well as examples of the "specialist software" I am describing.
Certainly most of the products of my own companies, which are specialist in the arts and entertainment business are designed for Windows. If we are asked to deliver on Macs, we propose Citrix (as we need a SQL Server core anyway, so we may as well use TS as well.) We have tested on Mac PC emulators and they work provided the underlying Mac has enough umph, but we don't support the environment because it introduces another layer of complexity if diagnosis is required. (Incidentally, we also don't support W95, 98 or ME, even though the software works on them, because they are crap.)
We lose very few sales through not supporting Macs. We lose more through not supporting W9x.
I think that what you maybe missed in my earlier post was that if you don't need any specialist software, I agree with you that a Mac is preferable to a PC. I reckon that LINUX is probably better as well...more stable than both PC and Mac...but suffers an even greater shortage of native software.
