What business really needs...
...is Mac OSX. So I got my promotion to Digital Technologies Trainer at work, and I am salaried. This comes with all sorts of fancy quirks. For example, I can work on my time off. LOL I'm not complaining, I knew it entailed a lot of additional hours when I took it on, but here's the thing: With this new role I use more computing. I use Windows XP all the time. Windows Vista some of the time, and MS Office and SharePoint endlessly.
They all suck. Not just because I like Apple, but because I'm not the only one who says so. I'm still waiting for somebody to explain to me why my Outlook inbox is so difficult and lethargic to search, when my OSX Mail inbox opens in a snap.
I don't understand why it takes Windows XP a good 5 minutes to get up and running. I don't buy the excuses as to why sharepoint won't display properly in Firefox or Opera.
Bottom line... The business world needs Mac OSX desperately. I investigated the it, and MS Access is about the only thing we use that won't run in OSX, and there is Filemaker Pro for that.
I hope my company is getting one hell of a kick back from Dell for all this lost time their systems generate. What I would give to just hook up my Mac at work. I'll even buy my own... just let me use a computer that can handle the things I need to get done!
