Very similar. Go with your own bliss - or that of your friends who will
need to help you - as far as PC vs Macintosh.

Virtually identical. Almost all the program features are the same; the tools,
commands, and so on are all identical.

I use Photoshop on both PCs and Macs (I have three Pentium 4 systems and four
mac systems I use with Photoshop). Because I make my living on Photoshop, I
prefer Macs, for a few reasons:

1. The Mac has OS-level, systemwide color management built in. Windows does
not.

2. The Macs are generally faster--not just in terms of overall Photoshop speed,
but also in terms of productivity (less downtime, fewer problems with
publishoers and vendors, and so on). At the end of the day, I make more money
on my Macs, and that's where it's at.

3. The Mac has a niceity that the Windows version lacks; Hold down the Command
key and click on the titlebar of an image and you will see the path to where
the image is saved on disk. Scroll down that path and the folder the image is
saved in will open for you. In terms of file management, especially when
working on a large number of files from different jobs, this is really, really,
*really* nice.

The Mac version can also save one image format--PICT resource--the Windows
version can't, though that's a very, very minor issue; the PICT Resource image
format is most useful to developers of Mac software.

for 99% of everything you'll do save for those things involving color
management, you'll see absolutely no difference whatsoever between the two.
