Re: why developers should port their games to the Mac
Thanks to Nocturnus, Slj and roelvdwal for providing some very coherent answers to my questions.
I do see the advantage of intigration, my brother his ability to control his Mac from his Ipad and be able to send documents etc between them, though he also has a windows pc hooked up to an Xbox for purely gaming purposes, and I can definitely see how a screen reader can support different programs differently.
That being said, I'm still not %100 sure if any of these are reasons that a person should use a Mac over windows, especially if they still need to be emulating windows for games and so on, or having to go through complex user accounts to run aps from devs who don't pay apple huge somes of money, and even more especially if Vo on the mac isn't getting the updates.
Then again, I will freely admit that Windows 10 has worked out far better for me than expected in terms of stability, interface and speed of use, and much of my perceived disgruntlement with post Xp windows didn't actually materialise once I tried the thing out and found how to set things up as I wished.
While I admit that setup did use some third party programs such as C cleaner to remove junk and classic shell to get the start menu I wanted, at the same time none of this was particularly difficult to do either, or at least not for me.
While this discussion has made me vaguely interested to try a mac if I ever get the chance to play with one, at the same time, unles something really catastrophic happens to Windows in the future I'm still not %100 sure whether the advantages of having a mac are convincing enough to make someone want to choose one and need to emulate Windows as opposed to use Windows all the time anyway, and thus whether the potential user base of mac gamers exists, especially given the expense of developing for Apple.
Of course, as I said, I'm surprisingly happy with Windows 10 and NvdA myself, far happier than I thought I'd be four years ago, so take this opinion with a good pinch of salt.
