“That’s true. Some people, like you, have very limited uses and requirements for computers, so, the Macs will suit you just fine. ;)”

yea, all I do is run two sophisticated business operations... I also continue to own multiple self-destructing windows computers, including servers at these businesses. The only computers I have with problems are my windows computers - running a variety of windows versions. Each week, a different windows computer, operated by a different employee, is seeking technical support and taking time away from our core business operations. Fact.

“If you do spend a lot of time “fixing” your computer, then, the problem is obviously with you.”

Don’t kid yourself, as Windows operates, it self-destructs. I’ve actually had Dell representatives tell me that it was “time to reinstall windows, because it had been more than a year.”

In conclusion, this has never happened with OSX. Every single install of software has gone exactly perfect, including systems upgrades. Every time. Fact.

Use whatever you wish, but I’ve been set free - except for those d*mned windows machines. If they don’t get malware, a virus, etc., they are self-destructing as they operate.

The businesses might be sophisticated, but, your knowledge and usage of Windows systems is, apparently, very lacking, which would make you a very unsophisticated computer user.

If your problems were to be replicated throughout the business sector, then, nobody would ever be able to get anything done, and Windows (server or otherwise), would have been terminated ages ago. But, Windows continues churning along, increasing its server market share, and being used in businesses of all sizes. Therefore, the only conclusion that can be drawn from your "experiences" is that, you're very incompetent with Windows computers, or you're simply lying out of your rear, like all the Apple fanboys are best known for.

Fact? I call it "Bull!".

Like I said, you're either very incompetent with Windows computers, or your whole staff is incompetent, or your training/education and theirs wasn't worth a "chit".

You haven't sounded believable from the start, so, why would I believe anything you have to say at all?

If a Dell rep actually said anything as you state, then, the Dell rep is just as incompetent as you, and he needs to be fired, and you need to get someone to run your IT operations, since, you seem even more incompetent that that Dell rep.

Macs are not Windows PCs, and it does not have to compensate for problems from all of the OEMs and from the components providers, and from the drivers providers and from the applications providers. What you get with a Mac is a simple version of an OS, with parts hand-chosen by Apple, and the only drivers needed being those that the simplified Macs and OS require. Windows has to make sure that, with parts being supplied by hundreds (even thousands) of suppliers, and PCs being constructed by a couple dozen OEMs, and motherboards coming from multiple suppliers, and a host of many other issues, and so, what you're gonna get is an OS which is having to compensate for and fix the issues which are not of Windows/MS's making. With Macs, you get one maker, with a few components, which makes for a much simpler OS. Along with the much simpler OS, comes a marketplace which is not very enthusiastic about running their critical enterprise operations with Macs or any Mac server. The business sector is a very limited market for Macs, and there is even the rumor/expectation that, Macs on the desktop, will be gone in a year or 2, and shortly thereafter, OSX will be supporting just the mobile market, where iOS and OSX will be merged into just one OS. Apparently, you're not even aware of those reports, which, if you had been, you would be looking to start on the road towards something better (hint: Windows/Windows servers), or, perhaps, even Linux. But, you can continue to try running your business on an OS designed for toys, which iOS/OSX will certainly be.

Look ahead, and don't be fooled by what you perceive as facts.

Those are exactly the same lines of BS that can always be heard on tech blogs, and always from the fanatical/fanboyish Apple lovers. I've heard your BS arguments thousands of times, and no matter from whom, it's always the same lines of bull.

Get ready, because, like it or not, you're going to have to switch to Windows sometime in the future, or at worst, Linux.

BTW, somebody with a fanatical love for a company (Apple), should not be running the IT department of any company, and neither should a manager/executive/owner of that company. The worst decisions ever made with IT is by those that come into the operation with blindfolds and predefined and unbending ideas, and are not about to pay attention to what might be better decisions for their companies.
