Thanks for the suggestions. If I bought a Mac, it would be for home use, not the office. We have to use Windows at work (in part) because there are commercial websites that are IE-centric and FireFox running under Linux won’t function on those sites. I blame the owners of those sites for not creating browser-neutral content. Finally, I prefer documents and spreadsheets without macros — such things are trojan horses. Not as versatile, but safer.
I hate macros also. But if I am trying to win new business I can hardly say, “Please take the macros out of the company presentation and financial models because I run MS-Office on a Mac. Or I tried to listen to the web cast you suggested but could you convert it to flash or quicktime for me? Or that demo we were talking about required ActiveX and I have a Mac, Sorry?”
I can do this to friends but customers? No way. AAPL and the sychophants don’t get it.
