DentalMac rocks, but is 10 years out of date. They have an uphill battle to break back into the market, but after seeing the crap available now, I think they could leapfrog the competition by leveraging OS X.

Our office has had many problems with MediMac. For years they promised a new version (the elusive 4.0 release) that never came. Now they are promising an OSX release. If it were not for the stability of the Mac and lower cost of operation, we would have switched to Windows years ago.
