wow, seeing that analyzr won't come to pc (especially in that tone...) is kinda...snob and arrogant to an extent. first of all, MOST people don't own macs...and you limit your potential customer base by quite a lot. but then again with the attitude of 'hell no' i'm assuming you make far too much anyway off of mac people. i guess steve jobs knew what he was doing. good luck with analyzr, but that attitude as a business venture proves not only foolish but a 'we don't want you as a customer' connotation is shameful.

I hear you, but we strongly believe that Analyzr not being written for Windows is a sound business decision. It's often wiser to choose a niche rather than enter and compete in a market in which someone's already entrenched, and to pros who use V1 or Analyzr, the computer is an appliance that exists pretty much solely to run the software. Our Switch discount makes it very easy for someone to buy a Mac AND a copy of Analyzr for the same price as they'd pay (or less) for a copy of V1... and they get a brand new computer with it, too.

And more people own Macs than you might think. 23 or 24% these days. It's not a "small" market, and we get to be first and best.

I think you read quite a bit more into those two words, intended in a joking, light-hearted manner, than was there. But, your criticism of our business plans isn't really the topic, so let's get back to the topic.

Sai-Jin, we can give you an expiring license so you can demo Analyzr on your existing computer without any restrictions. Send me an email.

Would the same argument apply if I complained that Microsoft doesn't release versions of office for Linux?  Probably not, just like it doesn't apply here.  Of all the engineering and business decisions to make a software port or not, I'd say "I don't like platform X so I'm not going to support it." is either dead last or not on the list.

If you did really want this piece of software on windows you could just run the OS in VMware within windows:

I gave it a quick go, but doesn't look any better than V1. The lines I painted on the video disappeared the moment I restarted the video! Not good.

I introduced analyzr to the facility and they like it. But they are wondering if there's any way it can be mounted to the auto capture unit.

I checked their cameras, and they have a different camera than the normal V1, they look industrial .
