Mac OS X Gaining Ground In Corporate Environs
nonsuchworks writes "MacWorld quotes a Jupiter Research report on the increasing penetration of Mac OS X in the business world. From the article: 'The report found that in businesses with 250 employees or more, 17 percent of the employees were running Mac OS X on their desktop computer at work. In Businesses that had 10,000 or more employees, 21 percent of employees used Mac OS X on their desktop work computer.' Analyst Joe Wilcox adds, 'Companies that were considering Linux are now buying Mac OS X instead.'"
Horseshit. In most businessess, everyone uses the same OS and probably the same kind of computer.
I've upped my standards, so up yours.
Working in a school district, I can tell you that with one exception, all the teachers using OSX are completely unaware of many things, this included.
what, that you post on slashdot or that they aren't running a flavor of linux (which seems pretty reasonable to me in both cases)?
Why, because you are a Linux zeolot afraid to admit Apple is kicking your ass in the OS market?
That sounds more likely.
"Seriously, I think OS X is way less daunting than Linux."
Huh? OS X is way less daunting than Windows too!.
"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge." - Daniel Boorstin
Yeah, because OS X doesn't have one of those command shell thingies. ...right.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
Well you shouldnt really use Mac OS X as a example of great hardware support. Thats like saying that VCR's has good hardware support.
What company is going to fork out 2.5k just for a macbox that doesn't even include a monitor keyboard and dumbass one button mouse? Any company that wants to not save money.
