I used to be a network admin at a college that uses only custom built PCs, specially made for different uses like modeling, game design, distributed computer systems; and we never considered using macs because of the lack of compatibility and freedom.
And here's your first error. Running an all-Mac shop, we have no "compatability" problems. Period. This solves 95% of our problems. Robust Macs, robust OSX, in an all-Mac environment, means we never have trouble.
Oh, need a Windows product? Also not a problem -- just boot into Windows 7 using bootcamp (which we never have to do, thankfully).
As for the problems that you had with windows, the computers were improperly maintained unless it was a manufacturing defect(windows will not disobey unless the software running on the windows OS does what you do not want it to do. It is YOUR fault for blaming the OS instead of the software developer. Who uses Cytrix anyways?).
False. The computers were properly maintained. Your comment about Cytrix only confirms what I originally thought: you've zero experience with any large for-profit enterprise. Because if you did, you wouldn't ask such a question.
Also telling you totally ignored my points about Window's garbage "registry" system (what a joke), relying on 20-year-old-tech (the horrendous *.dll system to "save space,"), and that's just two of many I could identify. These two issues are reasons enough to make a move to a much more robust platform like OSX Lion.
Everyone at the college who went for a degree in CS/EE/MA preferred a PC
Who cares what some college kid used or wanted. I'm talking about the real world. I'm talking about professionals, who do real business and have real-world financial decisions to consider. I am among them, I make the purchasing decisions and I sign the checks. I could care less about spending $1k on a PC versus $2k on a Mac -- that kind of money means nothing. You know what matters? Saving time, saving on salaries, saving on contractors, ending downtime which costs us real money.
That is why, Mac all the way for us. It has saved us a ton of money -- the product costs are irrelevant. Literally irrelevant. Employees costs money, computers don't. Employee salaries, benefits, healthcare -- that costs real money. Computers are nothing in comparison. I know, because the money is mine. Nothing you say will change this. Basic economics.
That is an opinion, I dislike mac only software due to its heavy limitations and poor portability/compatibility compared to a PC alternative.
Lol. If you think Macs have poor "portability" and "compatability," you've no idea what you're talking about. Because compatability is precisely why we're an all-Mac business.
If so many people like it, I want to be part of it as well. However I do not see why someone would prefer a Mac to a PC, and I want to know.
No, you really don't want to know. Because I just gave you a host of reasons, yet you persist. If you worked for me, I'd fire you -- if you were lucky enough to be hired in the first place, which I seriously, seriously doubt.
