I would actually jump at the chance delete my windows partition on my mac for good if Softimage was ported to OS X, that and UDK although I understand that one might happen. Both Windows and OS X are completely different beasts to code for. WIndows has a bad reputation in terms of stability mainly because of poorly written drivers, even when it is a good platform. They both happen but the stability of the OS for the most part stays there.

That is not to say that users don't install a bit or two of extra hardware and that custom interfaces are out of the question on OS X.

OS X gets full on revisions at a faster pace than Windows because the hardware base is well known and documented so you have less variables and a more predictable platform to develop for. Both are valid but some people prefer to be able to tweak (and break) away and others prefer the comfort of less options as a trade off to stability.

Macs are more about a well laid out and un-intrusive experience, bordering on the minimalist and with a user-centric approach opposite window's engineer's mentality-approach. Linux as a platform still scares away the less-than-technical in the computer ecosystem and they go Mac. On the Mac topic: The Mac loyal are that and lots of people are switching to OS X running away from Windows. Take care Luc, I know you read everything (and do nothing about it) I understand why this conversation gets ugly. With Mac you will have a stable platform, without a need to make it good on every peace of crap people buy (like I did) Instead someone thought it's better to waste time on Linux? Why is it good (or profitable) to have XSI on Linux? I don't know anyone who use XSI on Linux? Do you?Īnyway I never managed to get a good stable XSI no matter how much I spent on hardware. If someone at Softimage started porting in 2006 when this question was first introduced it should have been done by now. Still I have to have a Windows box sitting around just for XSI. It just works better, even with slower processor.
