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.

Also, there's an element of "best tools for the job". There are some things that win apps do best, a lot of things that Linux or Linux apps do best, and some things that other unix flavors do best (meaning non-open source apps that haven't been ported yet). I switch between them frequently depending on the task, though I use Linux most of the time.

I'm simply not artistic enough to have needed any of the Mac's best-in-class apps. However, I think a lot of schools are using Mac's so when my daughter gets old enough I may have to add one to the mix so she'll be multi-lingual.
