Enterprise CTO Switches to Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the rethink-after-you-reinstall-too dept.

louismg writes "BlueArc CTO Geoff Barrall, using a PC day in and day out, found things becoming progressively more difficult as they increased in complexity. After one final straw, he sought out an alternative, and switched to Mac OS X -- in a corporate environment. His column, titled 'Rethink Before You Reinstall' documents the challenges facing Mac OS X in enterprise, and how he has changed his views." We've not had a switcher/MS-bashing/Apple rules/etc. article in a little while, so here you are.

    Will someone write an article about me? Then maybe post it on /.?

    Isn't it great, one guy switches to a mac and it warrants a story on slashdot. For Linux to get a story, It has to be at least a school district, I think. Maybe a small province, or country.

    Please, don't buy Mac. Ever. You'd probably have a major belief-structure crisis... God forfend any hard-core PC user EVER ADMITTED PC's aren't the BEST AT EVERYTHING. LOL.

    I'd switch to Mac except for one little roadblock: I'm heterosexual.. I've been made to feel unwelcome by the vast majority of Mac users who unfortunately are of the homosexual persuasion. Pity. Drawing from such a small demographic has doomed Mac to failure.
