[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1436352"] Even if I agreed with my colleagues on the color matching, calibration and typography (and I don't), I think they would still agree with me that the Mac still has at least two big advantages over Windows PCs for graphic designers: 1. Graphic designers are, by trade, people with taste. They prefer a more elegant and tasteful OS. That makes the Mac the de facto choice. 2. Graphic designers are, IME, not techies. Some may have quite a lot of skill in those areas, but generally speaking artists and mechanics don't mix. So a very high priority for a graphic artist is to have a machine that is the most reliable, with an OS that gets out of the way and lets the designer focus. Again, I'd say (and have studies to back me up on this) that OS X continues to outperform Windows in this regard. [/QUOTE]
