Using Macs In The Work Place

Posted by Hemos on from the should-be-more-support dept.

Kelly McNeill writes "It's been said that bringing a Macintosh into a corporate environment dominated by Windows-based PCs is not an easy task. Once you cut through the corporate red tape, then get through ignorant IT staff you still have to connect and gain access to all the services on the network. osViews editorial contributor Kevin Ledgister took on this challenge and passed the test with flying colors."

    supress this article ASAP? Everyone has to use Windows. It's important. For our economy. Or something.

      Don't worry. Slashdot is doing a pretty good job of suppressing the article. :)

    "Whoops! I forgot, the problems with Windows ensure permanent employment for techies"

    Hell yeah man!!!

    Do you think we would PURPOSELY kill our employment? Back when I started at my job, they were considering switching to the PC from Macs. I convinced them that was the right choice.

    Now I don't have to worry that this was the right choice as its the right choice for me. I stay employed and they think I'm doing something because I'm running around like a mad man keeping my office together and now that we are a M$ office, I have put 3 other techies to work to help me out.

    With the Mac office, it was ONLY me and I was doing nothing most of the day.

    I do however run 2 OS X machines at home...I don't have the time to deal with PCs except for gameplay there (waiting to see how well Quake runs on the G5s before I switch up and finally get rid of my last Win Box and move it to being another Linux box....)

    No Macs For Businesses!!!!
