Macs are very cool.

And they can't run my business. "Cool" means squat to me, and I don't want to have to grow a scraggly goatee anyway.

You make this statement often, but it would have to be a durn strange business I couldn't set up to run on an easy to use, reliable, stable Mac system.

I remain mystified.

I agree. Mac's may have pretty cases but pretty does not run the office.

Hollywood types always show windows based systems being used by badguys and macs used by good guys. (or at least they try to.)

He must not have very demanding or unique software needs to switch to a mac.

Okay, as I read more of your posts, you obviously aren't looking for laughs. Just filled with vitriol then, Hank?

Probably means that you are dependent on legacy software running only on the Wintel world. As far as OSes are concerned, VMS (which NT was pretty much based on) is superb. Linux is very good. BSD Unix (the Mac uses this) is excellent. All three of the above OSes are good, solid and dependable multi-user OSes. Now, if all you need is a single user system, then Windows is not bad at all.
