Questions for Monette Marino Keita

This is a general perception among consumers, though not at all a true statement IMO. It all depends on your software. You can set up mac/pc boxes that are identical on the inside. The OS itself isn't doing the video editing, so I don't know how you could say that one does it better than the other.

Sure, the hardware is by and the large the same. The OS isn't though. True, the OS doesn't do the video editing, but it does a ton of other stuff on behalf of the video editing software.

Mac software has no fewer bugs than PC software...it's just code.

True. However, on OS X, many applications are more stable. The reason isn't the better quality of the application, but the limited number of hardware configurations for OS X. On Windows, many crashes are caused by the zillions of combinations of hardware and the zillions of combinations of device drivers. Video editing software is affected by that because it tends to work the graphics device driver quite hard.

There are plenty of backup tools available for PC as well....

None anywhere near as convenient, reliable, and non-intrusive as Time Machine though. And restoring a crashed machine from a Time Machine backup is trivial. Press one button and go have a few cups of coffee. When you come back, the machine is restored to a state that's indistinguishable from the way it was before the crash. It really is as simple as that.

oh boy, I better stop now.

Me too

Cheers,

Michi.
