the top graphics product manufacturere stops making products for the top graphics hardware company... not likely.
actually i think mac ha probably lost a lot of marketshare, but still... apple makes up a big section of the adobe market.

As someone who is on the fence about switching from Macs after 11 years, that was a pretty persuasive argument to make "the switch".
If Adobe is telling me I should, shouldn't I listen. Macromedia hasn't taken sides, but I know that flash plays about 30-40% faster on PCs than Macs.
I wouldn't mind spending less than half the money for a computer either.

It's actually something that I'm mildly interested in... It's true that Apple hardware is very expensive compared to PC hardware. Apple is a hardware company, like Sun, and they make money because they have good margins.
Having said that, I also think that OSX is, IMNSHO, the best consumer level operating system that's ever been released. Which is almost compelling enough to make the hardware premium worth it for normal consumers.
With all this in mind, I can't imagine that Adobe would stop making products for the Macs. The installed userbase is enough to make it worthwhile. But if you're thinking about getting a new machine... tough call...

me thinks that adobe says they're "PC preferred" because they don't want the pc community to feel left behind on their products. They would probably say the same things to mac users as well... market to both sides, get a larger market share. Simple.
Thing is that they show no signs of going PC only. They ship the same versions for the same products on the same date as each other, making sure that no one is preferred.
