Maybe it needs to be mentioned here. Photoshop for Windows, and Photoshop for Mac X are actually two entirely different programs. Yes they do have a very similar interface and many of the techniques used on one work fine on the other. But in other ways trying to treat them as the same program will lead to utter confusion, especially with regard to how they us the hardware they are loaded on.
Sorry Graywolf, but that's absolutely incorrect. There are detail differences in the user interface and the low level interfaces to the OS graphics systems and memory management functions, but the core and Photoshop application binaries are built at Adobe from at least 95% identical source files.
I worked with these teams at Adobe quite a bit, personally, when I was involved with Apple's development tools engineering group.
