It's a Mac Thing.
>Computers are rarely dropped at once, instead they are phased in. But many of your users cannot wait for the their turn to arise, so IS approves upgrades for many, knowing full well that this is the last round.<
Alomex;
I think we have a culture clash.
Your obstacle to appreciating Macs, is that you're a computer professional. You're used to IS departments making decisions for unknowing, unwashed lumpen-bourgoise
I don't let anyone choose my computer for me, nor does anyone I know ... etc.
I suspect that an overwhelming number of Macs purchases were personally bought, specified, instigated by the end user vs. a relatively small number of Wintels. Hence the fanatic user loyalty.
Also, setting aside hardware/software esthetics and with the diminishing of the "Apple is dead/dying" stigma, corporate/enterprise purchases should be driven by lower maintenance costs, G3/4 servers, OSX, etc. |
