Macs Gaining a Bigger Role In Enterprise

Posted by kdawson on from the i-want-my-os-x dept.

rev_media tips a short article up at InfoWorld giving some numbers on the increasing Mac presence in businesses. "We're seeing more requests outside of creative services to switch to Macs from PCs," notes the operations manager for a global advertising conglomerate. They "now [support] 2,500 Macs across the US — nearly a quarter of all... US PCs." Another straw in the wind: "Security firm Kapersky Labs has already created a Mac version of its anti-virus software for release should Mac growth continue (and the Mac thus [find] itself prey to more hackers)."

    Why would you want to run windows in parrallels?
    current situation, you have a dedicated working windows box for some reason cost = 0
    your solution get a mac $$$
    get parallels $$$
    move programs across to the VM

    so instead of 1 thing that can fail youve just spent a shitload of money to add 2 points of failure to your system. Smoooth!
