Which platform do you use?

Experiences on both?

I have used a Mac platform to edit video and multi-media for almost 10 years.

Thank God Almighty that Premiere Pro was finally released.

CYA Mr. Jobs ... your platform freaking sux.

The OS is buggy and unstable and heaven help you if you have a motherboard issue ...

Diehard Mac OS X user here. I've been using various forms of the Mac OS for the past fifteen years. Certainly the older Mac OS 7,8 & 9 versions were getting quite a bit long in the tooth and if you didn't play witht he extensions properly, you would have something about as stable as an old sway-bar less Corvair. My daily Mac OS X bruiser is a much modified Power Mac 9600, so there is quite a bit of life left in something from early 1997!

Like many others, I do have to deal with various flavors of Windows at work. I really shouldn't be so critical of Windows, as it's collection of problems has afforded me the cash to buy the race car and race tires :-). I will say that Windows XP finally is getting to a point of parity with the Mac OS, but it is still saddled with a User Interface that confounds. Also, despite what the Microsoft Certified Solitaire Engineer's (MCSE) say, there is a wide variety of pro's who could really troubleshoot things when Windwos goes bad. What kinda stinks is that our company java programmers like to use MS's interpretation of java and then wonder why their retail products don't work so well for our Mac users.

Other that that, I have a Solaris x86 server that the Macs connect to.
