Umm, better check your facts. Photoshop 7 is OS X native. (Quark is working on QuarkXpress.)
Over 3000 apps have been ported to OS X to date, so the argument that "there aren't enough" is hollow.
Porting apps take time (especially for serious applications like QuarkXpress), and OS X 10.1 was only released last fall (and was the first version of OS X that you could really do anything with).
I humbly encourage you to try OS X. The wedding of a full implementation of UNIX with decent user interface principles makes it really a lot more powerful than Windows. If you use it, the apps will come.
If I cant afford a $500 program you're selling, then I won't buy it, so how does it hurt you if I warez a copy? I wouldnt buy it anyways cause I can't afford it. So in the end I get to use it, even though I can't afford it. No one is losing anything, I am just gaining.
Hmmm, that's a nicely self-serving argument, wouldn't you say? All you have to do is declare that "you can't afford" X, and poof! it's now legal for you to steal X. So $500 is too much? How about $20 for a CD? is that still too much? $6.00 for a paperback? Nope, sorry, "can't afford it", I'll just photocopy it and return the original. Hmmm, now that I think about it, maybe somebody else "can't afford" that book either, I guess I should post the text to my web site, for those poor, unfortunate souls.
Get real. Theft is theft. Just because you made a copy of the original property doesn't mean you have legal or moral rights to it.

No Quark, Photoshop etc.
