[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3710273, member: 2525"] I'm not really addressing the issue of convenience. The cost of making something compatible for a second platform gets added to the general cost of a product. To make it work on both PC and Mac, I as a PC user would have to subsidize you as a Mac user when I pay the cost of the product. Which is obviously not terribly convenient for me - or the 90% other PC users out there. If Mac users actually cannot use the product, I have sympathy. But if most Mac users can use the product, and just don't want to because it is not as convenient, or they had a bad emotional experience with windows systems in the past (no sarcasm intended), or they have political-like objections to windows systems or Microsoft, or they don't want to learn how to use a Windows system - then my sympathy is diminished. So I am just trying to get to the bottom of the question: Can most Mac users use the DI by booting their Macs with a Windows operating system (even if that is not convenient, or against their principals, or emotionally painful, or they are not familiar with the Windows system), or can't they?
