OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Would it be possible to switch my game over to another computer without having to pay for two games?

I converted from Apple to windows as well.

In 1984 I switched from my Apple II to a IBM Clone / 286. Never went back and only last year bought my next Apple product when I bought an IPhone.

Don't believe the hype - Apple makes some great products, especially in the last 8 years - but in the the previous 20 they made some good hardware that was closed off to most of the world and had very limited options when it came to software.

The Apple cult can watch all the commercials they want and pretend the past never happened, but the reason PC's are still the most widely used computer is because for most of history Apple didn't allow or encourage other developers to create software. So you would walk into a software store (yes, they use to exist) and there would be 20 Apple titles, and 500 PC titles. A software like OOTP could have never been available for Apple 10 years ago. Apple's controlling ways made the PC the dominant computer in use, especially in the business world.
