[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 3723388, member: 5202"] I never said I think they have to choose one OS to go for first and get the others later if they can. WotC always seems to do some pretty good research before taking steps tho, and they likely found it would be in their best interest to go ahead and get a Windows product done and see about the others later. It's a valid business decision if the option to go dual platform and something not DirectX would have delayed them a significant amount of time beyond their target date. I'm sorry you get burned in the choice they made. This is just another in a long line of examples since the 80s of a bit of software available on the PC w/no version on the Mac. That was always called a selling point for the PC market ;) Heck, I sold computers at Best Buy in 95 the week Windows 95 came out. We would explain about all the different brands, but basically, unless they were doing home desktop publishing or music or happened to have several friends who were already using macs, we would steer them to pcs. When they saw how much more software was for the PC side, that was definitely a clincher for which way they went. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
