For some reason the Mac OS has always supported Postscript
much better. For example, encapsulated PS files (EPS) are just
natural in Mac OS, and a pain to use in MS Windows unless you have the
right software installed. Once I read it was because MS didn't want
to license Adobe code nor validate a standard they didn't create,
sounds plausible. Meanwhile Apple has no such problem, Postscript
having been there since nearly the start and the whole OS being
'imported' from a half-sister company who has always used Adobe code
anyway -- specially display PS (DPS), of which Quartz is basically a
rewrite.
