Well, I imagine picing also has to do with the size of market share each company has to sell to. Also, MACs are more prevalent within business (Graphics and Printing) than they are in homes. I would think that has something to do with it too Momcat :) You know, soon it won't matter what OS is used. A virus has already been created that lives and spreads within jpg's. It's too bad there is always so much discussion on OS's and not more action on the virus creators. :(
