Cam Banks said:Clearly, WotC doesn't like Blizzard's approach.
Most of the WoW players I know are on Macs. At MWP, we work exclusively on Macs. A significant amount of the design and publishing industry work on Macs.
I would be somewhat surprised if WotC's own computer network didn't also have a bunch of Macs. If they're all done on PCs, then there's something rotten in Renton.
Cheers,

Mac Users Piece said:They found that Mac owners pretty much personify the Mac guy from the commercials. Among other things, they think they're more extraordinary than the average Joe (shouldn't everyone? If you don't think you're the coolest guy in the room, who will?). That's according to Mindset co-founder Sarah Welch.
SARAH WELCH: This is a group that is not afraid to shout its accomplishments from the mountaintops (why shouldn't you be proud?). They're happy and proud to talk about their successes and their accomplishments, and that can come across as possibly a bit conceited.
The survey revealed that Mac users often describe themselves as perfectionists (as part of the publishing industry, that's almost a job requirement). They're also more likely than PC users to whiten their teeth (nope), drive hybrids (nope), drink Starbucks coffee (can't stand them) and eat organic food (it's too expensive)
It has nothing to do with browsers and everything to do with operating systems. WotC's Digital Gaming Table and most of the other reasons to subscribe to the DDI are not going to work on any Mac, regardless of operating system. For people who prefer Macs, this is rather annoying, especially since WotC seems unwilling to offer some kind of alternative deal that lets Mac users who want the things that will work for Macs, like Dungeon and Dragon and possibly the online Rules Compendium, without having to pay for features that won't work for Macs.Baka no Hentai said:I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Perhaps it is because I've never owned a Mac and do not understand the limitations but.... you're saying that WoTC is shutting you out because they dont support the browser you personally prefer, while in the same post stating that you can easily pull up firefox if you need to?
Perhaps WoTC believes that others will do the same if their lesser-used browser fails?

Either provide examples that can be replicated and that prove your point or admit you're just mouthing off about something you know nothing about.Whizbang Dustyboots said:Safari is an outright terrible browser. I use a Mac at work, and Firefox is miles ahead of the default browser.
