Interesting, since creative software is in higher usage per Mac user I 
would think that with PC users who generally don't even use their address 
book because it is "too hard" to figure out. (I just lent an iBook to 
someone who was going to FLA for a while and she brought this huge paper 
notebook of email addies with her! Seems she never could get the hang of 
using her address book on Outlook for PC. Outrageous! LOL).

Trouble is, this software may be good for what it is, but anything I've 
seen coming from it in the way of created graphics, using this program, 
is really awful stuff. To me, this is just the common-man PC user's 
amateur designer software and they crank out a lot of amateur stuff from 
it.

This is not to say that a talented person couldn't do better with it, but 
if one is doing something serious, they usually turn to Photoshop or 
Illustrator even on the PC, I would think. I know I do but for quick 
resizing/reformatting and viewing, for which I might use GCon instead of 
firing up  a bigger program.

I guess I'm just prejudiced and this is a broad generalization but I 
always feel I can tell the quality of graphics made on the PC and that it 
is never as good as what is made on the Mac.
