Does Articulate have any plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline?
As a person who has organization management consulting experience as well as the LMS nuts and bolts, I'm looking at how much market share Articulate truly is missing out on with such a limited strategy. Although Apple integration may be considered an expensive outlay - to consider in this era that a Windows only or non native platform will prevail is in my opinion not sound economic strategy for business ROI - let alone the customers. For a start - just think of the majority of Mac users who actually dominate graphic capability software - i.e. the concentration of publishing, education sector courseware development, graphics, gaming, video, film and web design industries who proportionately favour MAC OS. The x platforms require disabling whats good for a digital designer. It's kind of like saying you'll stick only with "Myspace and not Facebook as well..." (oops).
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate Microsoft platform and products also. But if you are considering a sound business decision - you need to consider your large target market into corporations will have issues with allowing alternative OS usage by employees away from the IT environment - i.e. in the LMS or marketing, communications and business interfacing genre where most of digital courseware is developed.
So although it seems a good product, I'm back to Adobe which I can use on either.

Alternatively, if you are under an exclusive contract with Microsoft, perhaps you could consider integration into their office 365 product range?
