@radar_z Market Analyst - based off an open platform (FreeBSD). Apple keeps OS X closed. Very closed. Why else does Flash run so orjin krem altin cilekmuch faster on comparable Windows machines but slow on Apple? Which company opens up their APIs? Not Apple. Ask companies like unsanity.com why it took forever to update their apps from 10.5 to 10.6. What was said: Apple closed hooks in the APIs, making integration harder for some apps and impossible for others.
And I'd love to see Cocoa "open" and ported to Linux, so to have Adobe apps running on Linux.
OpenOffice is free, but even Mac Office 2008 is far easier to use.
