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 ...

Heh, I guess it is what you get used to. I am more at home with a Mac on the desktop. We have a mix (primarily due to work requirements) at the home office. The servers are Linux/Solaris. The last place I worked at provided WinTel boxes for the desktop, but when I knew I was going to get laid off, I got an iBook. Used it in the office for the last couple of months of employment. The great thing about the machine was it just worked. Mere seconds and a couple of mouse clicks, and I was accessing the company Sexchange server for email, doing their VPN for network app access, and utilizing ssh and X11 to access all my servers in the datacenter. And, for when I _had_ to use a Windoz app for something that didn't have a parallel app in the Mac world (Visio was the big culprit at the time), I fired up Virtual PC.

The thing just ran. I used to day I work on Windows PCs for my job, but to get my work done, I use a Mac. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

But I find myself on anything from Win98->Win2K, Mac OS8-> OSX, Linux 2.4->Solaris10, so I run with just about anything. I do like the way OSX looks and feels, but most of my formative years were spent in front of a Macintosh. And, throw away that factory mouse and plug a Micro$oft optical Intellimouse to that OSX box, you will be glad you did. :-)
