Macs for Business?

Like just so many technologies, Macs are invading corporations from the bottom up. Since this week saw MacWorld and MacIT take place… Wall Street Journal reporters had a chance to scope out the latter event and write a blog entry detailing whether or not businesses should consider switching to the Mac side.

In short, there are savings to be had but there are less Mac savvy people around ready to fix problems when they take place. In the end, a company may not have a choice regarding Macs as they seem to just come into the company from workers who use them at home.

This is exactly what happened with web browsers, smartphones, iPhones and it will happen with Macs as well.

    Rich,
    Indeed Macs *are* invading the business environment. When I joined Voxeo in October, I was delighted to find out that their *standard* corporate laptop is now a MacBook Pro! (And there’s an exquisite irony to this in that our main application runs on a Windows server!) I’ve been living in Mac land for a while now and I do have to say I love it. I do run Windows at times, but just in a virtual machine. (Being a long-time UNIX/Linux guy, I also like being able to get to a command line and having full access to all the UNIX commands.)
    See you next week in Miami,
    Dan
