And yet, I often encounter PDF files I can't open on my Mac, with the newest Adobe Reader. I also find graphics files Photoshop CS4 will not open and windows media files Flip4Mac will not open (though that's exactly what it's supposed to do). Almost nothing on my loaded and versatile iMac will open GIF files, and this is a VERY old and widely used standard, I would have thought. So... I'd say that portability rumors are frequently exaggerated.
