As one of the flaky types in the “art” department (who by the way probably makes more money than you do) the reason “why ‘no Macs’ is no longer a defensible IT strategy” is because it was NEVER defensible.
The usual argument is “security.” True enough. IT fears Macs because we don’t need them the way PC users do.

I had a nice Apple Mac, I could not give the thing away, i paid literally to ship it to a third world country where they (family) would appreciate it.
I can give away PCs all day long in this country but nobody really wants a mac.
I’m not crapping on the apples, I bought my wife a Ipod Nano 8 gig (a few months ago) and I will be buying myself a new Apple 80Gig classic very soon (thanks to the wife who wanted my 8 gig)
When apple owns more market share, the spammers and hackers will be knocking down the door.
Until then, Apple users should not be bragging about security. IMO.
Go ahead, i got my flame suit on, I’m just being honest and stating it how it is.

Shame...I made it through 4 years on FR without being personally attacked by a complete stranger without a clue.
Your conceit is outstripped only by your complete lack of facts.
I apologize. You may indeed make more money than I do although I am not going to get into a “you show me yours and I’ll show you mine” discussion.
My comment was very wrongly worded, but I have grown increasingly sensitive to the “flaky” description aimed at me and the people I work with every day. What we do is critical for the success of the enterprise and we are, on the whole, a highly educated and well-remunerated group.
