A Mac? :)
There's absolutely no need for a smiley there. At what point do the kind of issues mentioned, along with the extra inconsistencies brought about by Vista, add up to a compelling reason to drop Windows?Due to time constraints I develop at glacial speeds, putting me much more firmly in the hobbyist bracket even though I do hope to get some shareware out of the door. I'm already minded that Windows wouldn't be worth the trouble (I'll develop on it, sure, but it's the Mac sector that attracts me from a publishing perspective -- a more standardised platform and less of a warez culture = win win) and I'm curious about how far the more established shareware devs might (or might not) have succumbed to this particular rationale.
