Windows geeks warm to Macs | |

At Simply RFiD, a half-dozen software developers yearned for Macs at work. They liked the power and reliability of the Apple machines. Oddly, Simply RFiD made the switch to Mac Pros for its developers to write code for Windows computers. “We’re small and don’t want to deal with tech support issues, and that’s what Windows has become,” says Carl Brown, a software engineer and president of Simply RFiD, which helps companies use radio frequency identification technology. “The only reason why we even run Windows is because we’re a Windows developer.” | ||

A) If this is true, then their IT department is horrid and those employees should have been replaced first. B) The very 'premise' of the article is that users wanted Macs because they are more reliable is false. (Compare anything from up time to patches with OSX 10.5 and Vista, and there is 10 to 1 or 20 to 1 ratio with Macs being 10-20 times more insecure or unstable.) I still find die hard Mac users that insist their Macs have never crashed, but when you ask them if it ever restarts, they give a comment like, "Sure there are times it will randonly restart, but that is just to keep the system running well." Hiding applicaiton and OS crashes on Macs is something Apple puts a lot of time into so the users don't notice or think it is a normal part of the OS operations, even with the users losing data. And it is deliberate and very disingenuous... |

I've seen Mac users apply mega doses of anthropomorphism to their Macs - suggesting that their machines are "mad" or "grumpy" when they randomly restart.
It could never be that it was simply a machine and software designed by flawed humans and subject to resultant errors... oh no... it had to be that the Mac was perfect and its user, by virtue of using the machine, had some how made it angry. |
