Yea, IT managers are shipping jobs overseas to save money and but they would never institute MACs if it would save them large $$$? Be real.

It managers are not the ones sending the jobs overseas. It's SENIOR management that is issuing the mandate, as in "make it work, or you will be replaced by somebody who will"

Senior management doesn't get involved much in decisions of what kinds of PCs to get, it relies on their IT nerds, who can put up all the smoke they want without fear of being contradicted. It's a whole different story when mgmt hears about Indian CS PhD's going for $20K. THAT they understand.

HAHAHAHAH sorry, I've had to justify IT to those Senior Managers, and trust me, they aren't going to bite on MAC officewide.

I have nothing against mac, especially now that they are on an Unix based OS. However you aren't going to win the argument, ok, lets move to Mac's... they are 2-4 times as expensive, harder to find qualified tech support for and are proprietary in hardware and software.... Not to mention the huge existing investment in current software licensing etc.

Its a no win argument. Its a nice dream for the Mac fans, but its not reality in the business world.
