My sister from the Philippines applied under the skilled migration program and a year after she applied she got her visa. In the middle of the application process she got married and had to amend the application to include her spouse. Still, no big deal as long as you go through the regular channels and jump through the right hoops. So while it might not be that easy to get a PR visa, its actually not that hard either.
I agree. I used to be the only mac user in my company and it wasn't a big deal hooking into our MS environment.

His company is not in the business of providing IT consulting services. He makes guitar strings - it would be a poor business decision to change his business model. Besides, I don't think its really all that hard to make the "switch", especially when you are a smaller outfit. It all boils down to making sure you get the system you actually need - and how much it will cost your bottom line. Lets face it, if you've got a decent IT department, you shouldn't need outside consultants to tell you how to do it.

I'm using version .74 with Patch F and it is working better than ever.

He backs up his files once a week and just emails it to me. The files aren't too big so this works just fine.
