I'm willing to stick my foot in it. We're actually discussing Office shortcomings. At the moment, that thought is just a touch tangential. But you've sparked my curiosity. OS X is a fine environment with a strong history to support it (it is based on BSD UNIX). Short of decent DVD Authoring software, though, what products are you seeing appear for that platform that are not showing up in the Windows world? Office products? IF that is indeed happening, it's the turning point. If you'd like, I'll take the response offline.
