In the past we've stuck with Macintoshes, principally because their upkeep is easier (viruses, spyware, etc) and they have such excellent built-in foreign language support. I am concerned though about the software situation. What is your impression, is CALL software migrating predominantly to Windows? Or is OSX holding its own? Are there important programs/applications available for Windows with no equivalent in the Macintosh world? The last time I remember this issue being addressed was in 2003. I'd like to know how things stand today and would be very grateful for your input on this. --David Weible David Weible, Director Language Laboratory (m/c 042) 203 Grant Hall 703 S.
