@RC I agree with your point. But there are some things Macs do better than windows, just like there are some things that Windows can do that mac can’t.

I was also intrigued by the fact that desktop had a combination of CS3 and Studio 8 Apps, except for Director which Adobe has not updated yet. Looks like they are phasing that out.
