Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer
Esther Schindler writes "Not just another 'why big companies should adopt Macs' article, CIO is running a piece assuming that Macs are already on the way in the door. Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer offers advice to IT managers about how to integrate Apple systems into the existing IT infrastructure, and offers hints from leading Mac OS X experts on configuring those systems once they've arrived. '[A] key element in corporate Macintosh adoption is the importance of third-party software and custom solutions. They can help smooth the way for integrating Macs onto the network. While specialists say they wish third-party support were greater, the openness of the Mac makes correcting issues possible. Don't discount the lure of the well-worn path that draws and then traps your IT staff into familiar habits.'"
When you can run my tool suite on the MAC, for real, with the performance I am getting, I'll listen. My major tool won't run right on Vista yet, and they expect it to run on the MAC? Yeah right. When you have $2500 software tools, THEY drive the selection of the desktop.
Support? The last time I called support was because I needed a new mouse. The one I had been nursing along for 7 years, thru a couple of processors finally broke down. I support my own machines.
