Really? The Mac jockeys you know must be very deluded. I can't imagine not selecting one's color space or scratch disk. For example, if you don't choose your preferences, the startup disk will be the scratch disk. To get good performance from PS on a Mac you need a firewire hard drive with a lot of empty space as your scratch disk. If you print PS documents from a Mac, you want to set up PhotoShop for ColorSynch. And as noted before, the bicubic interpolation is not always the best. I can't believe that anyone who uses a Mac for photography and has any notion of what they're doing would use all of the default preferences.
Perhaps it is the Mac theory that everything in the world is wonderful, and the butterflies are always more colourful on a Mac.
I am running into a fairly broad spectrum of computer "users" at the lab now, the Mac users, for the most part, are pretty clueless, and seem to prefer being that way.
