Pixar using macs, Steve Jobs CEO of apple and founder of Pixar, sounds like there would be a bit of bias on what they would use...

As for the differences theres non, other than if you dont have a 3 button mouse, everything works the same, I cant really think of anything that would work differently. The only thing that you might get is that if theres a software in a workflow that you cant get on a mac, but cant you just install windows under bootcamp anyway?

As for people thinking that maya runs better on mac vs windows, in my experience theres no difference at all on similar specd machines.

alexanderH - What are the mac only plug in's??
