Why is the article dissing on IT staff (calling them ignorant).
I have 10 years experience working in IT, first with a Fortune 500 company, and now with a large privately owned company. I've got an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. I've managed Netware, Solaris, Oracle, OpenVMS, Windows NT through Windows XP servers, various Unix types, etc.
In my 10 years we've run across the random user who either really needed a Mac, or could convince management that they had to have it. You know what we did.... yep, you got it... we put that those Macs on the network and let the users have fun. I'm not convinced that the majority of these users actually HAD to have a Mac to do there job, but I don't really care as long as they could coexist peacefully with our network infrastructure.
I don't feel "ignorant" because my IT experience has been heavily weighted with Microsoft systems versus Mac ones. I'm an IT professional... I just make things work... Mac or Windows.
