“Like Danny, I made the difficult decision to take a close look at Windross at Xmas96.

“The Windross user experience is awful. I migrated to the Mac, and while it's amazing to have inDesign, XPress, Photoshop, Acrobat, etc. right there, Mac OS 8/9's GUI was nothing on RISC OS and it's difficult to describe in any meaningful way Mac OS X's GUI is better than Windows - especially as the responsiveness remains poor.”
