Default RE: The "Flight Sim for Mac" Protest!

I don't think anyone is trying to say that the Mac is not a good computer, the numbers are the problem. RC Simulator programs are a VERY small market area, and if you were to take 1% of that market, you would NEVER recover your development costs. All the protests in the world aren't going to help. There needs to be more Macs before you're going to get a sim for it. It's simply a matter of numbers.

To put it another way, my Segway is a great device, but there are many times more bicycles in the world, so they get priority when it comes to product developments. You simply have to look at market share, and you'll understand why protesting isn't going to help.
