FW: Getting Hung Up on the Apple-Microsoft War

[North, Walter]

As an overworked IT guy, my take is its the upper IT management that is in
the way of any changes as it would shrink their empires.

Simpler would lower my work load back to doing the work of one guy instead of 3.

Subject: Getting Hung Up on the Apple-Microsoft War


Quote of the day, in the NYTimes:
"... the market-share figures includes sales of computers to corporations, 
which buy hundreds of PC's at a time. And the corporate world long ago 
standardized on Windows. It makes no difference how superior Mac OS X or 
Linux may be; the world's I.T. staffs will switch their entire companies 
away from Windows the day Rush Limbaugh votes for Hillary Clinton.
After all, the I.T. people know where their bread is buttered. If Macs are 
indeed less trouble-prone and complex than Windows PC's, they're doomed in 
corporations; the last thing the I.T. guys want to do is obsolete 
themselves."
