I've no doubt that Macs and PCs are catching up in that department (conversion to NTSC) but it's still less straightforward and more expensive. E.g., GVP's GLock for the Amiga ($399 for a unit that also handles sound) is now available in a Windows version for PCs — at least twice as expensive and no sound capability. If you are hinting at non-linear digital editing, that's available (or will be shortly) on all platforms. But that's really only a solution for high-end purposes, since it takes such huge gobs of RAM and hard storage. In short, for typical home purposes it's overkill.
