[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 34053, member: 986"] I'm going to have to disagree with you on a couple points. In my interactions with corporate customers, more and more I'm seeing Mac's. Especially with customers moving to web or cloud based apps, the platform just doesn't matter. The world no longer runs on IBM. Period. Tools like the iPad and iPhone are accelerating the migration. Look at the declining revenue from Microsoft Windows and the trend becomes apparent. Steve and Bill aren't the issue. People want tools that work. In companies that I'm in where employees are given the choice of platform, I see a majority (unscientific observation based) of people choose a Mac platform. One CEO I talked to admitted that he needed to offer a choice so that he could attract top young talent. I got a Mac so I could understand the attraction and broaden my skills. It is the same reason why I started using Windows instead of DOS, PC's instead of Mainframe, etc. Just as the iPad has certain capabilities, I think the correct approach is to choose the right "PC" based on the task at hand.
