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

While I agree with the people who have posted about a Mac sim being a niche app for a niche group there is one thing that needs to be mentioned...the killer app.

A killer app is one that is so compelling/great/useful that it will cause people to buy what is necessary to run the killer app.

If someone did develop a an RC flight sim for Mac that was so far above what is out there now would people buy a Mac to run it?

I would say no, but it is something to think about.

Also, there is one more X-Factor and that is someone who would develop it for free (or open source). Not everyone is motivated by money alone.

I don't think these things are going to happen anytime soon. Just some thoughts.

Was at the Apple store today and seen the new 24" iMac. I want one!!!
