Now that you mention it, I’ve been in IT since 1983 and worked for 18 companies. All the large companies used PC’s with the occasional mac user. The only place I ever saw Macs in any number was in the small startups, and even all of them had plenty of PC’s around. Most people with macs had a mac AND a pc. All of them did at the larger companies.

Exactly. The cost premium for a Mac is not worth it. Especially with modern PCs and recent OS improvements.

College kids like Macs. Probably because mom and dad are paying for it.

Interesting that Apple doesn’t seem to care that much about it. Maybe because Apple’s business is in cell phones, ipads, music players and media and “oh by the way the do have desktops and laptops.”

You should check to see what machines and OSes IBM is now installing as its primary employee infrastructure.
