While I usually try not to participate in these types of things, one thing everyone needs to be aware of is that Intergraph is marketing a line of workstations called ExtremeZ to graphic arts professionals that competes directly against the Mac. Their director of marketing was even quoted in MacAddict of all places pushing NT. In fact, I doubt Intergraph even sells Macs. (I tried to search their web site but I got a "File d:\search\new.idq. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. " Sounds suspiciously like an NT error.) I attended a prepress seminar they gave regarding integrating Windows with a Mac production workflow which consisted mostly of advice to replace all your Macs with Extreme Z stations (even though, as I remember, Adobe Type Manager was not even released for NT yet at that time). And I would dare to say that Intergraph (along with most VARs/System Integrators) would rather sell you a Windows Workstation or Server, and an expensive service/support contract, as opposed to Macs which can usually be fixed fairly easily.
Having not seen the Intergraph booth, I can't say what was so
Sorry to perpetuate this thread...
