Not the point. I really don't deal with Mac issues because the market is 88% PCs - I go where the money is, picking the low hanging fruit first. This is the point.

Taking on compliance of a new OS or catering to Mac users for my business area just doesn't make sense at this point - especially taking into account the lack of worldwide projections for significant growth.

If I were at my potential in the PC arena I would of course look elsewhere to increase sales or profitability... at that point going after the Mac market would compete against other revenue generating opportunities.

For our products and services the percentage of Mac market we could secure is not big enough to be considered anything but a niche comparable in dollars to numerous other niches. And in this case I'll pick the most profitable, long term growth niche every time.
