>>> As in the case with software, I would go with a new phone company. You cannot oversimplify
this issue.
You seem to be doing your own simplification. There are significant barriers to switching to a new computer OS, unlike switching to a new phone company. For example, there are system interfaces that may need to be reengineered (e.g. legacy integration), there is the cost and time of retraining, there are costs associated with internal support, installations, upgrading, researching and buying new software to replace identical functionality, researching and buying new hardware (if current hardware does not run the MSFT OS), etc. And this list is not exhaustive. Moreover, just a single one of the barriers I have listed above can make it too prohibitively expensive, time-consuming, risky, and chaos-causing to switch.
I just wish you would concede even a single argument that has been presented when it is clear that you are wrong. How about conceding on the fact that the costs associated with switching may make the ability for an organization to switch undoable. |
