Which of these (you can choose more than one as a requirement) would make you switch over?

a. Adobe writes photoshop 8 in qt and ports it to Linux
b. Apple announces that future Macintoshes will use Palladium
c. Blizzard announces it will start supporting Linux in all its upcoming games
d. The core of openoffice is ported to qt/gtk, integrating with GNOME/KDE and sped up immensely
e. The GIMP gets a UI rewrite by Apple engineers
f. Macromedia releases flash and dreamweaver for Linux

Calum:
b would make me shelve permanently any dreams i may have of one day affording a macintosh, d would make me consider buying staroffice instead, because i can't stand all this desktop integration crap (yes, yes i know, but let's not get into it).

and a and f would be very good, and would definitely be a little nudge to a lot of people who i know who don't use linux already.

i'd like to see apple release quicktime (possibly using Qt?) for linux. It could be called QtQT!  :D
of course, they've missed the boat what with mplayer and all, but it would be significant to windoids.

and your comments about gimp are spot on. although gimp is great in my opinion, i get the feeling that all those people who say it's not as developed as photoshop are just pissed off about the user interface. get over it i say, but if they need some smooth GUI and somebody wants to put in the time then go for it i say.
