Dave,
It doesnt really matter if it's harder to develop applications on the Mac - I'll take your word for it that it is.
Some application developers decide they dont want to bother with macs at all- eg-I wish I could use geocontrol, but there is no mac version. That is the developer's prerogative. But as I said, e-on sells a mac version of vue. No disclaimers, no discounts. So I expect it to work. Are they not fulfilling their obligations or am I naive to expect them to??

PS - some of the bugs they didnt fix used to work in v6, on a mac, so they know how to fix them... at least one of the bugs they claim to have fixed but several updates later it isnt in...My feeling is they are just not working on bug fixing  seriousely. They are focusing on new releases/new money not on issues with releases they already got the money for.
