Sorry Michael, I missed the Windows part.

I really don't think there is a best raw convertor for any digital file any more than there was a best film or a best processing lab.
All produce different results and some small, some quite large, but at the end of the day all are viable and offer enough variables to be well worth learning and using.
I routinely run Lightroom and C-1 for my P-30 files and just as routinely run Lightrooma and RD for my Aptus files, DPP and PSCS for the Canon files etc.
The only thing that puzzels me is why we now have specific windows vs. mac platforms.
Now that Apple runs on intel chips it would seem to me that any computer could run windows and Apple os which would give us all more options.
Given that and given the cost of a computer like an I-mac in relationship to the cost of a digital back, I don't understand why someone that is PC based would not at least have one Apple computer to take advantage of the Apple only raw convertors.
