Let’s imagine a world where visual designers used Windows PCs instead of Macs.
Presumably they would do this because there would be a set of high-quality, powerful web design tools that ran better on Windows than on the Mac. If this were the case, it would make the most sense for these hypothetical design tools, [...]
