Like what?
Your claim that PC's left Mac's in the dust in the early 90's is only true in the marketing sense. Functionality and performance on PC's didn't happen for the average business user until the release of Windows 95.
I agree with that statement.
Until that point, I was telling my clients that they had to go with Macs to do the kind of things I was doing.
Like what? Be specific.
After Win 95 was released, I told them they could do it on their Windows computers, but not as easily.
When it comes to multitasking and memory management, Mac's SUCKED until the latter half of the 1990's (then it was too late). The "not as easily" is Apple's slogan yet I have never really seen it demonstrated in real life.
It allows me to work more efficiently without responding to constant messages asking if I really want to do that. Heck yeah, I clicked on it, and I really want to do it.
OK. You win that point.
Although I do have few Mac clients, my only callers for tech support are Windows users, and it is usually about Windows issues and has nothing to do with my solution. Mac users never have to call. They just do it.
You have more windows users AND Windows does and supports FAR MORE opinions than the Mac and that is the reason for most support issues IMHO.
Why are you so focused on putting Mac users and Macs down?
I'm not. I have not put down the Mac or Mac users - I have only made comment related to nonsense Mac propaganda. Mac fanatics TRY to box everybody into that trap if we don't buy the Mac propaganda. I can only go on by my real world experience. Macs need about as much support as Windows if you take into consideration the limited opinions you have on the Mac - if Windows could support the same amount of very limited opinions as the Mac, windows would seem rock solid too.
Windows does what Windows does. Mac does what Mac does. Sun does what Sun does. HP does what HP does. AS/400 does what AS/400 does (99.9999% uptime). Your problem is with Mac "people". You see them all as fanatics.
When it comes to DCOM, I'm Microsoft's biggest fan. When it comes to databases, IBM DB/2 gets my vote for uptime. For doing scientific or statistical analysis, Mac fits the bill. For high volume transaction servers, give me something Unix with an Oracle database.
I can code them all. I never met a platform or a language that didn't have some advantage to be exploited.
And when you can put them all together in a distributed and cooperative environment then the magic really happens.
Just what is your specialty, by the way? Programmer? Analyst? Designer? DBA? Tech Writer? Hardware Support? Help Center? Manager?
Be specific, now. That's your hot button.
