Windows sucks

[figmo]

I had to say it. This isn't a "religious" thing; it's a post from someone who is frustrated at all the crap she has to run to keep her system from getting invaded by stuff.

People keep saying Macs are more expensive, but when you add the maintenance costs to the Windows boxes and note that the Mac will be useful for a longer period of time, Macs turn out to be cheaper.

I just wish Adobe would effing port FrameMaker to MacOSX or Linux so I wouldn't have to run Windows at all.

I now go back to making my systems usable so I can get back to work. :-(

Sadly, that's likely pretty much true. Something that runs on Solaris X86 under X11R6 wouldn't need much hacking to run on Leopard. With Adobe you never know whether it's brain damage or evil machinations that holds something like that back. Maybe they want the whole Mac market to be on InDesign (higher margins? easier support? more progressive code base?), and they're really trying to wean people off FrameMaker as has been rumored since forever.
