I came across this article today on the CIO website:
"Eight Financial Reasons Why You Should Use Mac OS"
<http://www.cio.com/article/127050/
Eight_Financial_Reasons_Why_You_Should_Use_Mac_OS/1>
It made the case that Macs often offer both lower TCO and higher ROI
than
windows.
For you Mac scoffers, there is a countervailing argument:
"Seven Reasons to Think Twice About Macs in the Enterprise"
<http://www.cio.com/article/127101/
Seven_Reasons_to_Think_Twice_About_Macs_in_the_Enterprise>
I don't think that this is nearly as well written. For example,
Reason #1: "Macs are
Proprietary" ignores the issue that many common hardware vendors are
also
proprietary, but this does not seem to stop many businesses. You
cannot, for
example, get cartridges, drivers or support for a Dell printer from
anywhere but Dell.
To try to forestall a certain kind of comment, let me say that it is
FINE WITH ME
if you like Windows and don't think that Macs are right for you.
However,
I think that there are many cases where Macs could be used to better
advantage,
and I also think that more people should be open to this possibility.
