			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, go find me an art department that uses Windows. Mac OS is dominant in the DTP industry, the movie industry, and the recording industry by varying amounts. It's really dominant in the DTP industry. It doesn't matter that the applications are available on Windows, it matters that these people have been working in an Apple environment for decades and were likely trained in an Apple environment.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Naterm. Get a grip buddy. 99% of DTP - not a chance, more like 60% over the past decade. Every significant DTP app is available for MacOS and for Windows, and Wintel is far cheaper than Apple. Apple only has it's position in DTP because DTP producers have a hard time adapting to new paradigms. "NASA used G5s for workstations and later Mac Pros." To be sure, and I deal with several major science faculties where Macs are used "...for workstations and later Mac Pros...". However most of the workstations are and have been for years Linux. You really gotta watch your logic.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Taoist - speaking as a sysadmin, I can tell you that Macs cost too much, important things in a UNIX LAN environment like NIS just do not work properly, MacOS 10 forsook well documented UNIX config files of the OS daemons for hard to understand mechanisms. Users, like perhaps yourself?, find MacOS 10 very intuitive... but for sysadmins Mac OS 10 has a real learning curve. Speaking as a user, it's a fine OS. Except that (1)the file manager (the Finder) is as brain dead an exemplar of it's kind as I've ever seen, (2) I can only customize the colors and look/feel of the desktop in the 8 ways that Steve likes - beyond that I must learn how to write MacOS 10 profiles or skins or whatever Apple calls them. Point 2 is the killer for me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, you just showed that you know absolutely nothing. Probably 99% of all DTP is done on a Mac. A large percentage of motion picture work is done on a Mac. NASA used G5s for workstations and later Mac Pros. Maybe you should stop smoking the same crack as Farrell and learn a bit.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mac-using architects and designers know that as long as they tap the Steve Jobs reality distortion field (and they do in fact get a Bit of Saint Steve when they pay too much for their computer) then trivialities like structural design, load factors and machining tolerances are irrelevant. Only the contract price matters. These people don't really need much more than a Paint program... or very occasionally Photoshop if the design needs that extra sun-glint highlight.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's up with this hatred for mac? Is it based on jealousy, or due to a vocal and smug minority of apple users? They provide good all-in-one products with solid soft; much more than I can personally say for Windows+DIY PCs, less than I can say for Linux+carefully selected hardware.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Mac Pro would be a good starting point for a CAD/CAM/CAE workstation. Apple really needs to ship them with Quadros and beef up their drivers though. I guess even a AMD pro card would be preferable to no pro GPU at all.]]></description>
