It's not just Intuit. If you're looking for an OS that has lots of
available applications for public consumption, Windows is the one to
look at. The main complaint of almost every Mac user I've ever met is
the lack of applications. ... And having worked in computers for close
to 25 years, I've met a lot.

Regards,

Margaret

It is simply not possible to "have met a lot [of Apple users]"

Well even if I concede on that one (which I don't), it would be another
reason why there's not much software out there for Macs....

At the risk of offending the Mac zealots and the Microsoft bashers in the
same response, it's a simple matter of freshman college economics.

One platform has 5% market share and the other has 95%. It makes no
difference how user friendly or technologically superior one is over the
other (remember the Beta vs. VHS video recorder wars?). You have to spend
money to write, sell, enhance, and support software. You have to make a
profit to continue to keep the resources employed.

If you were CEO of Intuit, where would you put your expensive resources to
ensure your continued viability?

And that advantage is now gone for Micro$oft since the Mac runs on
an Intel chip and runs Windows.

Apple has all the tools it needs to bury Micro$oft.

But now that Mac runs the Intel chip you can have a dual boot
system where on of the boots is into Windows.

Of course you realize Bill Gates stole an OS from Apple a number
of years ago, that is what is now called Windows.

Apple in their infinite wisdom never copyrighted their OS.

Catch Pirates of Silicon Valley if you can.

In lieu viruses/spyware/hackers/etc. for Windows and the
abscence of same for the Mac as well as an OS that doesn't
crash every hour Apple could very easily crush Micro$oft like
a bug.
