Mark,

I don´t quite understand, why OS X should deteriorate – in this case even compared with Windows on the same hardware platform – after the move to a dual platform architecture. I don´t think that DDC/CI compliance is something that is better suited to "the other" platform.

All those who advocate for a USB connection: DO you really want an increase in the number of proprietary formats for driving different monitor models/makes? Or who do you think will come up with a standard for a USB monitor interface?

There is an existing standard, may it be as whacky as it is; there is an organisation responsible for this standard. I think we should all try to convice those who are responsible that it is also their responsibility to fix what´s broken and enforce what´s working. Otherwise I fear that software manufacturers will support only those hardware manufacturers who are friendly enough to publish their interface information or SDKs.

Merry Christmas and a succesful New Year,

Not to side-track the discussion into an OS sling-fest, but all these "inconveniences" you list were anticipated and expected at the time Apple decided to offer a dual-platform architecture, because they know the diversity would appeal to many people who use applications that are better suited to or only useable on the one or the other. Their sales figures seem to justify the decision they made. There's no free lunch. More flexibility = a few extra steps and bucks. This is the single recent feature change on the Mac offering which seriously tempts me the buy a Mac when I'm ready to up-grade from my Dell 690 Precision Workstation (state of the art Windows machine in late 2006).
