No real inside knowledge, but... If I was building an app, I'd do Mac-only first if I had to choose one. Every major blogger is a Mac user, so you get your initial coverage. Then, when you release a Windows version, it's a legitimate process story (since most people are on Windows), and you can get another round of free media. There may or may not be technical reasons for it, but purely from a free media standpoint, it strikes me as the right strategy.

Yes but will techcrunch and the other blogger really cover your startup again just for the new windows version? I wonder if they shouldn't have had a soft launch on HN first and then a bit later once the webplayer is available launch on techcrunch... On this subject I found http://startuplessonslearned.blogspot.com/2009/03/dont-launch.html http://startuplessonslearned.blogspot.com/2009/03/dont-launc... very interesting... It's from this article that I decided that maybe a soft launch on HN before a real launch on techcrunch and the like is better
