  My platform of choice is MacOS it has (i) a very robust Unix operating system core and (ii) very stable libraries for graphics – which make it very efficient at displaying fancy animations. It’s using the same intel architecture as opposed to PowerPC now, so it’s compatible with Windows too… but I would never install Windows on it… But that makes it more compatible with other systems and applications. MacOs and others are slowly changing to being more similar to what you get on a mobile phone in terms of functionality – I like that about MacOs – you can send messages, do phone calls just like you do on an iPhone.

What is your say on Virtual Machines? Do you use them to test your products on different systems ( linux, ubuntu , android)?
