Why doesn't FR make a new sector, And call it "Mac" because chit-chat is becoming one large Apple commercial
Quite the revisionist history view of the world. Businesses never "fled" the Mac platform. Businesses "flocked" to the IBM PC platform because the alternative was a couple of long hairs making Apple][ computers in their garage.
The Mac didn't appear until 1984 (remember the fantastic '1984 Big Brother' commercials? Brilliant!) and by that time the IBM PC and other PC clones had dominated the business PC world.
The only inroads Macs made, and this is still very true today, was in desktop publishing, and video editing. And today, like 1984, Macs dominate those fields not because they're superior to PC Windoz machines, it's just tradition.
I'm curious how much Apple spends on product placement. If you just used tv and movies to decide you would think Apple Computers were the only computers in existence. Of course no other computer is as distictive so I guess it wouldn't be as successful for anyone else to product place in media.
We have sixteen Windows servers and ~200 Windows clients on our LAN. In the 7+ years I have worked here, we have had only two virus infections that went anywhere at all. One was on our MS Exchange server, which is managed by an incompentent contractor, so we couldn't have fixed it if we wanted to. The other was a Nimda outbreak that took all of three hours work with two admins to catch and eliminate, with no data loss.
Since that time, every machine on the network has an enterprise-level virus scanner running at all times, and we have not had a single infection.
If viruses and security are a problem on your Windows machines, you have hired an incompetent administrator.
