If corporations understood that Macs were really that much cheaper than PCs, they'd fire their IT support staff. buy Macs and pocket massive savings.

Right. Because corporations are perfectly efficient, and IT managers always make the recommendation that does the most to maximize shareholder value at the expense of reducing their staff size, budget, and importance to the company.

" IT managers always make the recommendation that does the most to maximize shareholder value"

The ONLY reason IBM is able to make this transition is because they have invested 100's of millions in virtualizing all the applications in their datacenters.

And, THEN they had to invest millions more in VDI and increased speeds in their networks.

Not to mention millions in additional storage.

Tehn they run that cute little VDI client on the end-user Mac that provides access to all those Windows applications, that still look and act JUST like the application did before this major infrastructure overhaul.

Still, it's an overhaul that every IT organization will undertake eventually. And once they do, it will not matter what the client is...to include dumb terminals.
