"And what, it took Opti-tex two or three years to finally get a dynamic cloth plug-in that worked on a Mac for Studio. Yeah, I know, technically, that wasn't DAZ's fault, but they were the one's that were making the half-assed software that needed the Windows-only plug-in in the first place. And that wasn't the only one."
Well the OP has made it clear that he wont be needing any poser content
"development utilities" so moving to OSX wont be an issue for his particular needs.
However on the matter of 3D/Cg in general,
All of the really useful and cutting edge tools are on the windows platform that is just the reality of today.
I recently made a "partial migration" to windows 7 after being Mac only since 1995.
My primary motivation being to access better,yet still affordable,
Character animation tools Such as Iclone pro.
I must say I regret waiting this long to get a windows machine
and continue to be amazed at new world of software now open to me.
I Still use My mac as My major 3D programs are on that old Machine.
But going forward I would not recommend Mac OSX to anyone
seeking to do serious 3D animation beyond the world of Poser/DAZ.
