Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't/. cover a story a while back where someone from nintedo stated that they were very intent on making sure their next console (revolution) was NOT released last?
Have you tried using Photoshop after being accustomed to Fireworks? Its crap. At that point you really start to appreciate the workflow in Fireworks and understand its advantages.
Will they incorporate FW features into PS? Maybe... but would that be a good thing? PS would then take another 5 minutes to launch. As if it isn't bloated enough already.
Ideally, PS would retain a focus on photography while Fireworks would remain with a focus on web development and screen graphics possibly knocking ImageReady out of the picture.
Ok, fine, geeks. Yes, MS is bad and we should ALL hate Windows. Whatever. The fact is OS X BLOWS in terms of productivity. Main reason? Simple window management.
Take for example the common file menu. Given 2 monitors (which I require to be more productive) the file menu for any single application remains in the same top portion of the primary monitor despite the current monitor of the currently focused application. Do you realize how much more movement my mouse has to endure to use that menu? Your basic Linux/Windows configs keep file menus with the application window.
And speaking of the application window... OS X basically has none. Instead, what you get is floating panels. Open a few apps and you have a crap-load of floating panels all of which seem to float together in one big mess. It's confusing, annoying and hinders drag & drop functionality.
And on that same principle, OS X has no maximize option. It has a resize option, but it does not maximize. In fact, I can't say I honestly know what it does in working with macs since OS 7.1 other than it can give me access to my resize corner if it's out of reach.
What? Out of reach? That's right. OS X provides only the lower right corner for resizing windows. At times, this can be unreachable at which point the resize option is necessary to get it back. Once it's again visible, it can be used to resize the window as needed. But of course, then, you need to move your window to its desired location. Given Linux/Windows, I can resize a window from any edge. What can be as little as one drag to increase the height of a window (such as a video editor timeline) you instead require two. Once to move the window up and the other to resize its lower edge back down. More mouse movement, thank you OS X.
Luckily, given all that crap, Apple had some smarts enough to introduce EXPOSE which can be as annoying to use as it is helpful.
There is a lot more but I'm sure everyone already knows despite their blind ability to accept them simply because Mac is now *nix and therefore great.
Give me my Windows box over a Mac any day.

I'm sorry but in 2620 the name of Uranus was changed to Urectum to get rid of "That Stupid Joke" once and for all.
Don't worry. Before long Melanie Griffith will come along and show us the advantages and importance of a human companion.
Unless someone comes out with six seconds.
Step into my office.... because youre fucking fired!
Firefox (Win) seems to have no trouble tabbing through them.

The war on terror is exactly why these things happen in the first place. It started with us.
but I bite my nails...

Stay in school. It's much nicer there.
Good news mom; you can stop paying for college. I'm giving up my career as a programmer and becoming a voice actor!
Doesnt appear to be taking now either... though its been duped further down
Sounds interesting. Sounds interesting.

I could have pulled better cover art out of my ass. A lot of the "art" is only impressionable due to reminiscence.
My work forced me to get a cell phone. Now ANYone can reach me at ANYtime. OH THE HUMANITY!
possibilities = shockwave. But then you have a bulkier plugin as well.
What you need is the Travel Version of the Home Stenographer.
