"Can you tell us what the name of this company is, the name of the VP you got this information from, or any available documentation that would corraborate the claims that they're converting their operation to a Mac infrastructure?"

Ah. I see your point. No, I cannot do that. But you'll see it soon enough. And I didn't say they were "converting their operation to a Mac infrastructure." Windows is here for a while yet. They are, however, adding iDevice and OS X systems where none existed before, in particular deploying iPads in revolutionary ways that spun my head around.

Apple seems to have gotten the pad computer right ahead of the competition, but adoption seems to be more a consequence of it being a unique type of interface that fits some tasks better than others. The "more secure and cheaper to support" drumbeat starts to sound like marketing spin when it gets thrown out as a "big deal" even in deployments where it wasn't really an issue to start with.
