Yes and no. You can get the Mac OS to do anything a Windows OS can. Whether or not it's just as easy is another thing altogether. Though Apple made things a lot easier when they ditched the PPC architecture.
Having an opinion does not make you right or wrong, it simply means you have an opinion. Don't get irritated when people don't agree.
It's Mac not MAC, it's a shortened form of "Macintosh"... you know... the apple. MAC is a cosmetics line.

Try to act mature on the forums please. OS X is just an operating system, take a look at the business world, a lot of companies use Apple computers.
Except for all that stuff that only runs on windows right? lol
IT'S A TRICK! THEY ARE BOTH COSMETICS LINES.
You don't play a lot of computer games at work, or do anything else outside of work for that matter, well, you're not supposed to anyway. XD actually I think saying "alot" is going a bit too far, considering 99.9% use windows, unless you have a time machine and this is 1985.

Exactly, dear.
I had to blow 150$ on an extra license for Windows just to play FFXIV on my primary laptop. Before you tear into it because "Maclol", bear in mind I use it for Aperture, Logic/ProTools, Resolve, and FCPX. Windows doesn't do all that. Hence the need foe dual boot.
That's a barrier.
The less of those, the more people play.
You're a smart person. You know the more people playing XIV, the better it does.
Especially if they're already this close, seems a short leap to make it a reality.
A lot of big companies use Apple products yes. However, outside of a few places with software specifically written for an Apples desktop OS, there aren't a huge number of actual Apple desktop computers out there. The people that do use them are often connected with other companies that also use them, so it seems that more are out there than there actually are. It's like when you buy a brand new car and you suddenly notice a lot of the same car when out driving. Nothing has changed, you're simply focusing on them more
You'll note I'm not saying that Apple doesn't have a large share of the business market, it's just not in desktops.

Our studio uses Mac's desktops.
However, they're niche, and nobody can deny that.
But they're pretty, reliable, and functional.
Gotta love that little workhorse cylinder under the converters.
Runs 24/7 and gobbles up absolutely everything.
I'd never game on FirePros, but I'm not asking for my Mac Pro.
I'm asking for my MacBook Pro Retina. Wanna see this run natively at that gorgeous resolution.
I know what you mean, I just don't like that people are having childish platform wars on the forums because people want a port.A lot of big companies use Apple products yes.
