I have a small pet grooming and retail shop, would this work for me or am I better with quickbooks?

Once you have mac you’ll never go back…
I can’t believe I struggled for all those years with PCs. Never again. Seriously, macs are not only for small business owners… they’re for anyone who wants to retain sanity. Great article

I’m been searching for a good reason as to *why* I would want to switch my business from pc to mac. I still haven’t found it. Please SOMEONE give me a reason why. The ones listed in this article are vague, and untrue in my opinion. There is no app for the mac that will work as good as outlook. thunderbird for mac? what a joke!!! The only good reason I can find in my line of work is for pro tools. Any kind of business application seems to really suck on a mac.

We’ll certainly see more and more small businesses using Macs as people are becoming more familiar with OS X and they want to use it at work too. We’re a small business of just 2 and we’re sharing our experience in running a Mac-only office in a blog.

I believe that Macs are better all around, and that people with PCs shouldn’t fear the change between a Mac and a PC. When I switched from my PC to a Mac, everything that I transfered worked fine, and I can still use Microsoft Word and all of the other Microsoft Office programs by purchasing the Mac-adapted version of the products. I love Macs, and say that the cost is completely worth it.

No, the _worst_ part is that Exchange is coming to the mac.

I think Outlook is one of the absolute worst email programs in existence, then tie that to a Exchange licenses and you are paying heaps to M$ for a bad product option.

FOSS options are much better and a mail server shouldn’t need expensive licensing, which is a given for Exchange server!

I have to admit, I was flabbergasted by the comment that Outlook was slow. Perhaps a hiccup here and there but leagues ahead of the iLife apps for business use…way ahead. Also, as an executive director of a small non-profit, I can’t imagine going to my Board of Directors with the budget increase needed to change to Apple products.
I love my MacBook Pro at home but will stick with PC’s at work for economical reasons.
