Just a simple, not-very-scientific quick poll to get a rough idea of the percentage of Cubase users on each platform, at least among forum users here anyway.
From my observations, my guess would be not that far off from 50/50…maybe something like 60/40 : PC/MAC
In which kind of data is this based on? If it’s about under which OS the license was registered, I would be counted as OSX user, while 99.99% of my time with Cubase have been on Window$.
Then, maybe every time I launch my Cubase the software sends information about my system to Steinberg. That sounds scary!
Under “My Steinberg” > Personal Data there is a section that stores what platform you have chosen at some point. For me so long ago that I don’t remember the process that I went through to select it.
I would imagine as the marketing guy he would have some reports that he can run that tell him this kind of stuff.
Oh! I see. In my profile it’s “Mac & PC” … just like it should be. But for gathering real usage statistics it really should read 99.99% PC / 0.01% Mac. But … well … probably 99% of people are either Mac or PC fanboys/cheerleaders and refuse to be multi-platform oriented … so mine (and other multi-platform people) entries are just some irrevelant noise on the statistics.
