Lightroom is outstanding. Aperture does not even come close. Just looking forward to Lightroom final release makes me forget the pain of the $499 I flushed down the drain in the name of Aperture.

Lightroom doesn't have half the functionality of Aperture. It doesn't even support versions yet, much less stacks, lighttables, or anything resembling a real loupe.
Adobe needs to put out some more betas with a *lot* more functionality before Lightroom has any credibility at all.
Apple shooting themselves in foot
The one thing that Apple continually seems to do is shoot itself in the foot.
They should make a copy of Aperture for windows sytems.
Why? (Competition)
Because Adobe caters to both platforms they are ahead of the game.
Why Apple does not create software for both systems is beyond me.
Just my opinion. The fact is more people use windows based systems than Mac.
Adobe is firing both directions making the proggy availlable for Mac and Windows. They are also taking both professional and non professional suggestions from potential users while developing the program.
At this point it has the potential to be more powerfull than Aperture.
Look out Apple here comes Lightroom.
And don't forget they have the ability to add any of Photoshops functionality to Lightroom.
