Hi Rob,
I've recently added PC with XP Pro to the Mac family here. There where no
problems at all with the i1 match , just plug and play profiling. The basis
of XP is Unix and you see the similarities of MacOs X and Windows 2000, XP.
You have to assign an id to each device etc therefore profiles become
associations to this end.
Most profiling packages will do this automatically, no longer does one
change the registry under root as before.
IF you want an almost exact match your choice of instrument will help you to
get there with more precision. CD Tobie will be able to tell you if Optical
will work on PC as well as it does excellent profiles for the Mac.
I haven't seen any differences in the big applications for image editing and
layout in PC vs Mac. You can Network them together easily in OsX nothing
extra required, although Miramar's PCMacLan let's continue to use AppleTalk
over TCP/IP and AP spoolers.
I did notice yesterday that when transferring a Mac made profile that
resided on the PC that ProfileMaker wouldn't open it before I changed it's
creator resource. Strange but true.
