I remember awhile back I used to attend Lingo User Group meetings. It shocked me when the president of the group started using Windows machines to author her interactive projects. Wouldn't shock me now. Director users definately need to use Windows machines now. Doren Talk about major business problems, I personally think Macromedia has really suffered by fighting their user-base. Look at their results for the past couple of years and you see what happens when you try to tell your customer base what to do. Macromedia's Windows push was really top-down forced, and left them with fairly poor product direction all around. Their installed base of Macintosh users, which was vastly dominant, was left questioning what they should do, while their major product languished in the transition. Lame-o. The sad thing is that Apple really pays in the interactive media community for Macromedia's mistakes. - Adam
