But then, they have no one to blame but themselves.But it was an amazing feat that they once did have 10% of the market. I think Dell was the only other single manufacturer to hold that much of the personal computer market, & their PCs ran Windows.But that's tangenting on a tangent, so enough about that.Why not? It's been done before. Plunk a Mac surchange on the game table & other tools that aren't web content/PDF. Sure, you'll get some noisy grumblers, but you'll also get a lot of Mac users who will silently & gladly pay.I'm not suggesting or implying anything. I'm telling you my experience.No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that I have the experience from multiple successful products at different companies that cross-platform development isn't so hard & pays off more than I keep hearing people say. Perhaps Wizards has done the due dilligence, perhaps they haven't. Perhaps their analysis was flawed, perhaps it wasn't. I don't know. I merely sharing my experience with you. Take it or leave it, I don't care.Also, if I were Wizards, I'd be considering this:Tom: "Hey, let's get the old college group together again via this virtual game table!"Dick: "They'd be great. Sorry I can't join in though. It isn't worth the hassel to set up dual-boot for that."Harry: "I'm out too. Ever since we switched to Mac, the wife has baned Windows from our house."Larry: "Maybe we should just use WebRPG?" (or whatever the popular free tool is these days)Moe: "Yeah, it's not near as nice as the Wizard's game table, but it is free & cross-platform, so everybody could play."Curly: "Hey, I don't have Mac or Linux, but free sounds great to me. I wouldn't know what I was missing anyway."</blockquote>
