What I find interesting about that article is just last year there was another report from gartner or forrester that claimed that Apple has a small margin in the business segment but a huge margin in the support segment.
I can testify to this as I have two clients who love their Macs, iphones macbooks etc. They are nice in my opinion, but when we look at their overall bills these 2 companies spend more on the 2 mac users than the entire 30 users in the rest of the offices. That's just a fact. The other partners (law firm) complain about it all the time but they won't switch . This year there is a zdnet report that says its now cheaper to support Macs . my *guess* is that's because the it department says your on your own if you want to do it . thus it costs less J From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 5:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: From the Mac Enterprise list Well, at least that's how I know of it.. http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/10/27/hell-freezes-over-forrester-urges-it- to-support-the-mac/ David Lum Systems Engineer // NWEATM Office 503.548.5229 // Cell (voice/text) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
