Not better...just different (ie better).

FWIW, the fastest machine for running Photoshop would be an Intel MAC running XP Pro. Go figure!

Actually, Vista is not so bad once you beat it into submission. That takes some technical knowledge, but it's not that hard.

Vista is pretty. Otherwise, if you're happy with XP don't waste your money. Give it a year to marinate and then it might be worth it.

I run mac osx on a Intel imac.

For photo editing I use the GIMP, and for cataloging I use iphoto, (but will probably invest in either lightroom or aperture soon for cataloging+raw purposes).

BTW good idea for a poll!

I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS2 on Mac OS X, with an Epson R2400 and an Eye One Display 2 colorimeter.

Windows XP and Paint Shop Pro. PSP is the best bang for the buck. As for Windows XP, its great for everything I do both with music and photos.

Switched to mac at home about 4 years ago and never looked back. The original eMac runs great with the latest Mac OS X, iPhoto and some basic image editing software.

I have been using mostly Unix (HP/Sun/Linux) at work for the past 15 years and recently switched to a MacBook Pro. Probably the best Unix laptop around (by far), and it runs the Gimp.

I was as PC die hard as they come, and MCSE certified...
Moved servers to Linux...
And then moved system to Mac for my photography! It's Unix baby!

I have enough technical knowledge to be comfortable with any OS, however I am afraid Vista's content protection is not for me.

I use a powerbook G4 1.5 with lightroom. I was a long time PC user and switched to the mac not as some act of defience, but I just simply felt like the powerbook had the best "feel" of all the laptop's I had used.

Glad you thought of it.

I'm running Mac OS 10.4.9 on a MacBook Pro, and Preview, iPhoto, and Aperture, ALL recognize K10D PEF and DNG files. I'd certainly look into Aperture before heading elsewhere.

So I tried the "famous" iPhoto, but it does not handle the RAW
files of the K10D (neither PEF nor DNG).
So I haven't figured out what is going to be my personal workflow
for handling my photos under mac...

Meant to mention this as well. If you have an Intel Mac, Parallels Desktop for Mac allows you to run Windows on your Mac desktop http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/

Running Windows XP (and I imagine Vista) on an Intel Mac let's you use whatever PP software you want, PC or MAC.

Very happy after I made "the switch" 8 months ago!
