Obviously, this person has never actually worked in a corporation before.
We get excellent support from both Dell and Microsoft. Can't speak to Symantec. If a piece of Dell hardware requires replacement, a simple email to them results in the replacement part arriving the next day via Fedex. If a Mac has a problem, the answer is "take it to your closest Apple Store".
I'm sure building all the dams to provide hydroelectric power and placing windmills in prominent windswept areas won't affect the Swiss at all.
The alternatives are all far worse than nuclear power in terms of damaging the environment, not to mention the character of the Swiss landscape.
... I have no problem with allowing employees to use their personal devices at work. If the rest of the executive team wants excessive network downtime, no viable way to maintain data security and a compromised network, who am I to argue with them?
This sounds like a great way to easily justify doubling my budget and staff too. What's not to like?
Amen. The idea that Windows is more difficult to manage than a Mac or especially Linux is laughable. And the tools you have for the management you might want to do are more limited and offer far fewer choices.
My Xoom is faster and has better integration with my work applications than the iPad2. Why would I want to dumb down the way I work to buy an iPad2? This is after all "The Big Leagues" and facts matter as opposed to believing advertising hype. From my perspective, for people that actually use their tablets for work related tasks, only someone who likes to work more slowly and inefficiently would purchase an iPad2.
I see absolutely no problem with IT letting you do whatever you want on their network as long as you allow them practice medicine in your division if they feel like doing so.
Taking advice from bankrupt European nation inhabitants is a sure winner! Thanks for your help!
The basic problem is too much government spending overall, including the military which is a significant, but not the most significant percentage of the budget.
Too many people expecting something for nothing and hoping to punish the productive sector of the population to get it. Politicians will promise anything to get elected, even if it bankrupts the country. The Democrats' natural constituencies are people who pay little or no federal tax, contribute nothing to job creation or investment and collect the preponderance of government giveaways. Fiscal responsibility is simply against the Democrats' self interest if they want to be re-elected, the country be damned in the long run.
This is only news because of all the "Macs are safer" bullshit we are continually bombarded with, especially by Apple. Now Apple sycophants are whining because they are getting a dose of what Windows people hear all the time.
Anyone who complains about the high cost of healthcare and at the same time thinks HIPAA is a good idea doesn't know the slightest thing about healthcare. HIPAA compliance adds a tremendous bureaucratic burden on healthcare providers and is so effective that it has produced one successful lawsuit in 15 years. What a triumph. Billions wasted with no discernible benefit.
This is purely a political decision, obviously. You should never underestimate the stupidity of users trying to get their work done. Users should just ignore the problems they experience and accept the fact that the Linux community knows better than they do what works best and costs least.
To some people, it is more important who says something than what they say, truth be damned.
It is no coincidence that those people are almost uniformly liberals/progressives/5 year olds.
People who advocate the disclosure of information via Wikileaks under a pseudonym have no standing. They obviously have made a judgement that their own personal information is too private to disclose, but deny the same judgement to others. And yes, there is a significant amount of information that puts individuals at risk exposed in the Wikileaks data as opposed to general government policy.
Two comments:
1. It seems, based on the number of comments, that most readers here automatically discount studies funded by Microsoft, but accept a study by a liberal organization without question. There are a couple of words for that and they are hypocrisy and naivete.
2. The news women on Fox are babes.
If I were in the same position, I would be patenting everything I could afford to just as these companies are.
The reason would NOT be to sue others, but rather to avoid having my company being sued by the patent trolls.
Is this post a joke? Apple commands a tiny fraction of the market. I would say that tech writers are about as biased in their reporting as the MSM is, as study after study has reported. And about as reliable.

This is government at its absolute best. Coming up with an idea that will foment an entirely new and useless bureaucracy we can all fund.

All of them more expensive and less desirable than the alternatives.

So what, precisely, did Fox report that wasn't true?

Yeah, 90% of PC users are dumb and you are smart. Linux and Apple users need to get over it. You were simply beaten by a better product.
Probably brought to us from a European, Home of the Last Two World Wars.
So what's stopping you?

This is nothing unusual. It has been going on in Islamic countries for as long as Islam has existed.

Yes, those 6% of average users who could buy any computer they want to agree with you. It is just a fact.
... they can't call anyone to tell them about it.
