This looks really neat. It also helps me understand why so many websites look bad on non-Mac platforms (aka 90% of desktops): designers who do stuff like "that looks a bit heavy, let's bump down the font weight a bit" without realizing that these settings look unreadable on Windows or Linux.

Golden girls and Matlock used to be the most popular shows on TV but advertisers hated them since the viewing demographic didn't actually buy anything.

Its ok to optimize for mac if that's who will give you money.

I don't think that figure if accurate. I think it's save to assume that a great deal of people looking at Macaw will be on a Mac (considering it is being released on the Mac first).
On Low-Res devices running Linux or Windows, that is.
In other words, you're confirming the 90% figure, right?
