1. Hurrah! 2. I believe you are wrong... ImAMac Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 08:39:22 AM
Please explain just exactly what you mean by "not as friendly for the business world as microsoft..." because lots of big companies run entirely on Macs. Anything that can be done on Windows CAN be done on a Mac, but some chose not to live up to Apple's exacting standards.

Those who are most vocally resistant to change are those in charge of support/IT who might lose their jobs or be forced to learn something new.

Apple does quite well for businesses.

In fact, one BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY manages to do it quite well.

You may have heard of them... APPLE COMPUTERS.

To use a not-so-oft-quoted phrase, "Not if it doesn't conform to Apple specifications." Ghavrel - 28/05/2010 05:53:54 AM 732 Views
