i can't vouch for the dude on the blog (are those raspberry seedlings
in the grass a metaphor for software packages that don't mix?) --
something is wrong with his description because there's no way the
InDesign CS3 installer would ask him for the Photoshop CS4 disk --
maybe something else on his machine asked for it, but not the CS3
installer
but from long experience, and confirmed by the experience of many
others with whom i correspond on InDesign and Mac OS X lists, Adobe
has among the worst Mac installers of any major software distributor
Anyway, during conversation, he mentioned some study or other where
researchers had found that Mac users typically are somewhat less
intelligent than PC users.
citation please, or it's balderdash; best i can find is a 2002 study
that says Mac users (then, at least) were richer and better educated

Richer and better educated doesn't necessarly translate to more
intellegent. The money could be inherieted and one of my favorite
quotes, which seems to bear out more often than not is "Seriousness is
stupidity sent to college." This is not to cast aspersions on Mac
users. Though it used to be that Mac users didn't want to know anything
about the mechanics of their boxes and Dos/Windows users were forced to.
