2012 is pretty good now. Give it a few versions, it'll be great. I'm sure Revit is coming.

@Kinkola Nor do I, why would I replace all my PC with more expensive Macs and use a CAD program that does not do all that my current one can do(see missing commands in AutoCAD for mac)? I fail to see the logic in this move. That and as I use the Revit building suite now I can't use Revit, AutoCAD Arch nor can I use Inventor Fusion. To each their own I guess :\

I agree Macs are better out-of-the-box. They are better for gaming out-of-the-box, they come with better video cards out-of-the-box but they are also lots more expensive per what you get and run more code per function than does the PC.

Macs are made for people who wish to learn how to use certain programs but not the actual computer. Yes, they run operations like format and such by appearance faster than PCs. Here's the caviot, If something goes wrong with them, they give you a code then you pack it up and  take it to your apple certified repair store. My PC, I can strip down and rebuild should I have to, at home in my living room or bedroom or where ever it is by myself.

I was one of the first people to have my PC computer overclocked and liquid-cooled before Microsoft invented it(Yeah observed some hackers doing it and then stole the idea from us).

I originally started out as a mac person, too many years ago. I originally started to be swayed with my first 486, went totally to PCs back around the original Pentium and have never gone back with the exception of playing unreal tournament in college back around 1998-2001. I am vastly versed in Cobal, Fortran, Pascal, Java, C, C++, Photoshop, Painter, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, 3DS Max, Maya, Softimage, Auto-Cad, Rhino, etc... Everything runs better on PC. Plus it is soo much easier to upgrade and overclock and increase performance on a PC.
