I'm not as familiar with all the PC differences versus the Mac so I may 
be missing something.   But soft-proofing is a feature of Photoshop not
QTR or any other print method.  The soft-proofing method that is 
described on my website should work equally well on both Mac and PC.  
It is based on having an Eye-One and the i1Match software that creates
ICC profiles.  I also have some specific soft-proof files for the UT2 inkset on
a 1270.  They contain install scripts for the Mac but if you know where
to put the .psf files on the PC my understanding is that they should
work identically on the PC and the Mac.
