Now Tim Cook is talking a bit about the vibrant development side of things when it comes to the Mac.
“Now, with the share rising and the units rising much faster than the industry, we have a very vibrant dev community. We have 600k registered Mac devs. They’re growing at 30k per month,” he says.
Cook calls out game developers specifically, an area OS X has always been weak in, largely due to bad driver support.
“We have new devs like Valve. They’re bringing titles simultaneously to the Mac and PC. Like Half Life. This is great for the Mac, and a great shot in the arm for gaming on Macs.”
Even Microsoft is making money developing for the Mac. AutoCAD’s also coming back. OS X isn’t going anywhere.
