            There are no problems with migrating Illustrator and
    Photoshop from Mac to Windows - everything will continue to work just
    fine...

            HOWEVER, I would recommend that if you move your FrameMaker
    users to Windows that you keep at least one Mac around running FM for
    use when doing actual document production (printing, PDF generation,
    etc.)!!! FM/Mac does it's own internal (high quality) Postscript
    generation, while FM/Win relies on the standard printer drivers
    (which means GDI->PS conversion).

            Don't say you haven't been warned...
