Adobe Troubles (longer)

[Jerry Budd]

Actually Scaled Composites both uses AND develops their own 
applications for their Macs.  The ground control station they 
developed to support their realtime flight data processing and flight 
safety critical displays runs on Macs.  Same with AeroVironment in 
Simi Valley, the company that flew the Helios aircraft to nearly 100k 
feet a few years ago.  AV both uses applications written for the Mac 
and develops their own apps for the Mac.

I've asked the people I know at Scaled and at AV why they prefer the 
Mac and the answer is always the same:  easier to setup, easier to 
use, easier to develop apps on, more stable, super fast, easier to 
network.  It isn't that they somehow settled on Macs years ago and 
don't know anything about Windows.  They've tried Windows several 
times in the past and keep coming back to the Mac.
