Actually the post was some what misrepresented. I am thinking of switching my use of ArchiCAD from PC to Mac. I have been a Mac user since the days of 1989 when I purchased my first Mac IIci. My first PC occurred when I purchased ArchiCAD 6.0 and I wanted to have the option to run -Argg- "AutoCad". For years I have had both operating systems on my small network.
Years later, AutoCad skills lay dormant. I find I am able to handle all consultants DWG's just fine with ArchiCAD. Inport/export they don't know the difference. The Mac OS is by far more enjoyable to work in and I want to integrate my graphical tools "PhotoShop, C4D, etc." closer to ArchiCAD for presentation purposes.
The new G5 dualie has jaw dropping qualities. The iLife package allows you to easily provide communicative material to clients and consultants. Work can be fun. The same level of capabilities on a Windows machine causes you to very carefully purchase several different software programs and you cross your fingers hoping that they work together and that they don't become obsolete in 6 months. The iLife suite just keeps getting better with each release. Combine the ease of use with speed and possibly that new 30" billboard display. Sweet!
I remember when this list would constantly talk about the bad Mac implementation of ArchiCAD. Lately that talk has diminished. I suppose the quiet means the MacAddicts are hard at work.
