My impression is that mac users tend to buy software more often than windows users as a percentage of the whole, at least for small to medium applications. Examples: Textmate, Transmit, Sizeup, Divvy, etc. I highly doubt that would apply to behemoths like photoshop though.
Not that I have any data to back that up, just my general impression.
- junkbit 16y agoI am amazed at the amount of trivial mac apps that sell for $20+. OMG, bold font pro and spellcheck+ are on special offer! Culture shock for a Linux user.
- masterj 16y agoThis is true, but there are quite a few high quality applications that that kind of culture enables as well. I would gladly pay for an ftp app as nice and polished as Transmit 4 on Linux, but as far as I know one doesn't exist. Not that there isn't great software on Linux, but I enjoy the emphasis placed on design by the Mac community when it comes to the top applications.
