I think you have that backward. You select the application (software)
and then install the system that runs it.

Sorry. That's what I meant. You don't buy the computer that doesn't
run
what you want. But, alas, millions of Apple owners do.....

Name a program that doesn't work on an Apple.

Pretty much anything that requires a hardware paralell port.
For some applications, a USB-connected parallel port won't work.
The applications that I have that require a parallel port
are generally programming and debugging systems for
microcomputers.

Well, ok. But how many end-users really need any of what you're talking
about... very, very few. I work with several different systems/OS. There are
always hardware issues, but few software issues between MacOS and Windows.
