Yes, platform-specific expenses are 10x on Mac vs. Linux and Windows. I said nothing about ROI. You're confusing that with platform-specific expenses.
ROI of platform = number of platform users * price - "platform-specific expenses"
Hopefully you can see why even if "platform-specific expenses" is high, the ROI of the platform can be higher than another platform, because the number of platform users is much higher.
- scarface74 7y agoIf it is so much more expensive to support the Mac than Linux, why won’t the major software vendors support Linux? Are you going to drop support for the Mac?
- vortico 7y agoBecause the "number of platform users" is very low (say 0.2-2% for professional users). I explained that above. >Are you going to drop support for the Mac? Probably not, but I might begin charging 20% more for Mac versions of the software.
