Leonsagara:
What I want to know is if there is a similar program for Windows or if the designer is ever going to make a Windows compatible version.

After my disappointment that it wasn't going to work on my pc, I did some searching.  nothing seems to come close--even paying a premium price.  *Checking my pockets*  Nope not enough to buy a new laptop that's a mac.  I don't know though, it's so hard to give up what I've always had--and all my stuff I already did with my old systems.  wanna cry...

I've used yWriter as my word processor of choice for Windows. Mostly because in addition to being pretty awesome, it's free to boot.

Cooper:
I use Scrivener all the time for my novel in progress.  I used it during my second Nanowrimo, keeping track of my word count, while turning it into a powerhouse of notes.  Id say it is the most flexible word processor/research tool/college buddy i've ever used.

The only thing I wish it would change is to have the same grammar checks as Word, a progress bar on the toolbar, more customization on the binder (I.e. colored folders that color the entire file instead of the icon).  Get it if your getting a Mac, I guarantee it.

I've seen some reviews that suggest that Writer's Cafe has most of the same features as Scrivener.  I haven't tried it myself, but here is the link and they have a free download.  The only complaint I have read about Writer's Cafe is that it doesn't format the screenplay correctly.
Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and can run from a USB key. sounds interesting.

I'll let you know my thoughts after the free trial
