XP Vs. Vista and Mac OS

There are many lighting designer/programmers that are not interested in going to the new Vista OS. It is obvious that before too long just as Hog II is no longer supported or updated further, XP OS will soon find the same fate leaving us to yet again suffer with another unstable microsoft OS.
Mac OS has proven to be the most stable and less problematic of any OS software out there.

Do you have any reason not to make the Hog OS work with Mac OS without having to run XP on a Mac?
I think it would be worth looking at. Many are going to the new Mac computers as the OS is reliable and more efficient.

    Are we going to keep creating newer technology without thinking about the platform it operates on. What will we all do when XP does stop. DL2's are windows XP imbedded as is the Road Hog, and IPC.


    To set the record straight here, regardless of which direction XP Pro goes, it will not affect XP Embedded. XP Embedded is on a completely different roadmap and lifecycle from it's desktop cousin.

    From my own perspective, Apple does a much worse job of backwards compatability than MS. For the most part applications than ran under WinXP run fine under Vista. Not all, but the vast majority do. With Mac OS it seems that every time they do an upgrade it breaks every existing application on the market besides their own.

    Just my $0.02.
