I think it's more logical to read magazines that are tailored to
music-making using the Apple operating system because Apple is one

about hardware and software that's designeed for -- or is preferential
to -- other operating systems.
While some programs are platform-specific, there are many that have both
Mac and Windows versions, though most reviews that you'll find will be
for one or the other version because that's the kind of computer the
reviewer owns. Sounds, on the other hand, are quite often generic - any
program that will support VST instruments will support any of them. And
that's one of the most common formats for instrument sounds.
You'd know that if you studied the technology and didn't have your head
buried in your Mac.
