Its nice if you go back to a file you finished with and find you can still do 'undos' but otherwise a bore.
Photoshop is one of those programs that runs faster on a PC or on top of Windows. When looking at performance benchmarks between PC and Mac photoshop always run twice as fast on a PC. The primary use of a Mac for me is converting and editting RAW files in Capture NX, something it excels. I guess photoshop with its memory allocation is not good for OS X and if anyone shoots JPEG only and prefers photoshop that a PC is best for you.
