took the cloning of there PC away from 3rd party
companies. If cloning of there product was still going
on there market share in the PC realm would be greatly
increased. And just maybe there would be more 3rd
party "Mac Only" software companies out there.You
can't blame companies like Avid and Adobe to simply go
where the bulk of business resides. I'm afraid that in
the future if you want the software that'll run on
your Mac, you'll need to turn to Apple more and more.
