Comment Katz is right (Score 1) 1170

OK folks, how many of you would actually develop software for MacOS? All this Katz baiting and denial of the obvious is funny. Marketshare matters. It matters to Jobs and it matters to you. How many of you would develop exclusively for MacOS? How many would refuse to make Windows or Linux versions of your software to support MacOS exclusively. Because we all know that Linux is growing and Windows is 85 percent of the marketplace. No one who wants to live well will bet exclusively on a shrinking 4.5 percent of the market. I would bet not many. Why? Because you like money and Windows is a fat, open, market. PostGet has a nice article on how Apple builds in software features to their next version of the OS. So you tell me, if Katz is so wrong about marketshare, which one of you "gentlemen" will place your economic future exclusively in Apple's hands. Oh, and the iMac may be computing's greatest failure. Why? Because as quoted here, was designed to get people to switch to Macs over Windows PC's. Even though they sold six million of them, they merely replaced older versions of low end macs. The few people who switched, dumped them for Window PC's when they got a new machine. Let's face it, Linux offers more and cheaper options for the specialized user looking to reject MS. MacOs lingers because of its installed base.
