Yep. I agree 100%. I prefer playing around with my Linux box at home, but for "work" purposes, I use an XP Pro box here at the office.there are still a few apps that don't have a direct replacement in the *nix world.

Reality is the Mac, as is Windows, is simply a tool used to complete a task, or tasks. Just pick the tool that you're most comfortable with that can still do the job you need to do.

Integrating a Mac into a windows network is never going to be painless; the two systems are inherently different. If what you want is a Windows experience from your Mac, install Windows. Now not everybody likes MacOS X, but the same can be said for Windows. Insert the problem of subjective preference here. Personally, I love working on my iMac, and managing the other Macs in our district is very easy if you use the provided Apple tools: Mac OS X server, Open Directory, and Apple Remote Desktop. Then again, I hate how a Mac _can_ cost 2x as much as a comparable PC. I do like that software upgrades are cheaper for Mac, but I don't like how apple drops support for anything that is not the current generation or the previous one. If you're 2 generations back, you're out of luck. What can a Mac do that a PC Can't? Nothing. But I would argue that competition is one of the pillars of innovation. Without Mac OS X competing against Windows, what would Windows look like today? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ 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
