bust Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think the "Hi I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" adds sum it up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yesterday was typical in our office. I was a little bit late and our assistant sat helpless in front of her Lenovo notebook (Lenovo/IBM notebooks receive high grades concerning the quality of the hardware, even higher rates than Macbooks) and she told me that the computer froze when she tried to wake it from the standby mode. The only solution: a hard reset by pulling the power cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shygye Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 ... but if you run Vista on a Mac are you not open to all the Trojans/Virus in the PC world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 ... but if you run Vista on a Mac are you not open to all the Trojans/Virus in the PC world? Yep, which means you'll need a firewall and anti-virus and -spyware software. I intend to use the dual OS solution only temporary until all MS software is substituted (I'll have for example to port our Access database to Filemaker).

Coss Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 There are a hell of a lot of security "experts" that are able to move relatively freely in the Windoze environment. And relatively few that can do the same in the Mac environment. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damen Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Mac's are great but require a higher initial investment. Total cost of ownership vs. a PC probably evens out over the long run. Being able to run Windows on a MAC will go along way in helping them capture more market share. Just because someone has a greater market share doesn't mean they have a superior product (see Betamax vs VHS). I could give a fuck about the MAC vs PC supporter war. I just want a cost effective, reliable solution. While they still have some work to do, MAC running Windows applications gives me a choice that I didn't have previously and thats a good thing.

wonderlust Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Anyone with balls who doesn't like Windows should be running Linux on a PC. More cost effective too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
