Dreamweaver for Mac or Windows?

Question

Can I get some advice? I'm trying to decide whether to get
Adobe Creative Suite 3 for Mac, or for Windows. What are the
pros/cons of Dreamweaver, Mac version, versus Dreamweaver, Windows
version? Has anyone used both? If so, which one do you prefer? And
why?
I tried asking Adobe's sales people about this but they had
no clue. Apparently Adobe doesn't have any documentation or do
benchmarks to compare the two versions.
Thanks,
Lisa

Well, what is your "comfort zone" of your hands-on experience
with either one of those mentioned system architecture.
I use Macs for years and I find that very useful and
reliable. However I am being so overly baised aganist Window system
architecture. You'll have to deal with it yourself and you decide,
because I don't know you.
You have to weigh on several options... and your short-term
and long-term, and cost-wise to operate these system architecture
and types of physical equipment such as Mac or PC platform.
The thing about Mac, as you already know, the cost is very
expensive. But there is a huge trade-off... very very low
maintenance cost on side of Macs. Easy to add different kind of
devices, say printers, digital cameras, external backup drives,
external double layers DVD drive, scanners, list goes on... you
find that very easy to plug them in and ready to use on Mac. As for
Windows, it depends. You will have to add drivers every time when
you add devices manually. Mac does the rest for you.
When people tell you that there are lots of Windows
applications are avaliable for Windows than on Macs. It is simply
not true. Because you can run Windows on top of Mac by using
Parallel (specical software acts like Windows emulator).
As for CS3 on Mac or Windows, it is matter of your comfort
zone. you need to sit down and take a hard look at those systems
that works best for you. I can't decide for you. You have to make
the decision yourself. Adobe cannot make decision for you. That is
why customer service reluclantly tell you.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with your decision.
Cheers, Brian
