I have been a professional graphic artist for over 20 years, a Mac user for almost 15 years and a Poser user since Poser 2. I have used Poser 2, 3, 4, Pro Pack and now Poser 6 on the Mac platform and Poser 3 on the PC. For graphics I use a Mac (OS 10.3.9) at home and a PC (Windows XP) at work. My Mac will be nine years old this December. Very...very slow but it still gets the job done.
Even though I use the Mac, I prefer FireFox to Safari so there is not a direct connection to browsers used.
According to Cnet, sales of Creative Suite 3 on the Mac make up about 75 percent of the sales which is close to what CS2 sold. Percent of computer users of a particular platform doesn't always directly match up to percent of a software program used.
Dark Horse comics has something like 150 Macintoshes to handle their graphics. A toy company I used to work for had about 20 Macs in the design/graphic department. They had around 50 PCs that were used to keep track of orders taken over the phone and do accounting. I am not putting down PCs - that's just the way this company was set up.
I'm curious to know how many users of Poser (and DAZ Studio) are on the different platforms, too. I would guess it's more than 10 % of users.
