Why would I buy Photoshop when I don't have a need for it?
I don't think I have a need for that either. I mean, I've seen the recommendations and acknowledge that it's what most photogs would recommend using. However, with how little photos I take, I doubt I'd get close to justifying the monthly cost. Like watching a movie on Netflix every other month, but keeping the sub going.

It's brought up when discussing iMacs and their apparent lack of upgradability in rendering mode. With Tbolt they can be expanded quite easily.
There is a place for both and no need for the constant flamewars. And today you can use your Linux cmdfu in Windows as well
My first thought to your original comment:Yes, I knew I was being obvious but I had to say it.
I've got multiple 'smart' TVs and none of them are connected to my network (I don't trust the manufacturer). Each of the TV's are connected to a computer that acts as a remote client for my SageTV server. Allows the wifey to watch any of her recorded shows on any TV in the house.

<psssst: he does. He's an M$ shill paid to troll Linux discussion threads trying to drum up Surface business. He probably does the same in the Apple user forums.>
Every windows fanboi on the planet like to point at the Mac's "closed" ecosystem & try to poke holes in them, whether it be hardware or software. However, if they're like me, I stopped trying to play "tech support" for family and friends with M$ products, because they (and MS) invariably fubared their systems, usually with virii and drive-bys.
Wasn't Photoshop originally a Mac-only go-to program??

You are *such* a troll.
I've always said that Windows is a giant virus disguised as an OS...
See, I 'member the days of print shops, Pantone colors, and Macs in said shops (I serviced copiers & wide-format inkjet printers in those days). I also remember Macs in lawyer offices, because their native networking was far superior to anything MS ever had (and still is).It was, and in many ways still is. A lot of pro users / shops still run a lot of macs. Photoshop still runs really nicely on a mac its just not exclusive anymore. So some windows boosters will say see see anything good ends up on windows so why run anything else.
At one time the Mac platformed dominated the photo/print industry. I would say it still mostly does. Other software like Quark was mac only for years as well... and superior on the mac for long after they released a windows version. Pro users didn't mess around and just ran macs. To this day if you can find a legit pro (not working out of their basement on Logos) Graphic Designer that hasn't used a mac more then a PC in their lifetime I would be shocked.
Yer probably right, he trolled a few threads I was in a couple weeks ago, before I went AWOL trying to install my lovely new Micron 2tb SSD under Win7... snap, is there a theme here??
