Though that article is a couple of years old, it’t pretty amazing. However, it must have been a special bulk price offer. Also, they said PC’s drove twice as many support calls. However, if there are ten times as many PC’s, that’s actually less support calls per 100 workstations.

I understood IBM's "twice" figure to be per workstation...

The savings apparently weren't on hardware or software pricing, they were on reduced support cost.

Did you notice that they were supporting 90,000 Macs with only two (2) IT Techs?

No, Cuban, it’s per user, not per OS. Do you seriously think that IBM made that stupid of a mistake? They are SAVING over $500 per user over four years. You don’t do that by making stupid accounting mistakes.
