Andu,

Of course it is a missed market opportunity; ~95% of computer users use PCs.
Bowhaus can only sell to ~5% of the possible market. It is as simple as
that. Nothing arrogant about stating that surely? It doesn't matter which OS
is your favourite; which ones do the potential customers buy is surely more
important. Unless Bowhaus has info that shows that PC users would not buy
their program (because they don't do digital imaging?), their is a large
market there waiting for a cheap competitor to ImagePrint.
