Do not just look quickly at ANY store PC shelves and Mac shelves. You'd 
be surprised how many PC programs are on hybrid PC/Mac disks. Still, 
when a Mac user buys one of this product do you believe it accounts for 
a Mac program sale? No way, it builds up the store PC sale figure, not 
the Mac one.
Worst: the hybrid CD program boxes are NEVER!!! on the Mac section 
shelves. Wonder why?
