The creative houses are used to using macs, but amazingly the general business clients we have find it totally liberating. It’s those people that are the most fun to work with; corperates without Microsoft lust as so many top dogs are blinded with.

BTW: we use exchange (now KMS actually) and still love it.

Best of luck, and feel free to contact me directly.

Here’s my last comment about our Redmond friends.

First, Windows ME. Ugh. Terrible OS. And for me it was ME installed on a Dell at the factory. I won’t go into all the sordid details. Check the web for customer complaints. Add in frequent system crashes (as was somewhat in the norm back then) and other baffling malfunctions, it was enough to make me want to swear off Windows.

To be fair, XP solved the stability problem while introducing other painful issues. Such as activation. Do you know, Jason, that I can no longer activate my legal copy of XP over the Internet because I changed my virtual machine settings in VMWare one too many times. Yes, I changed the allocated memory a few times and then upgraded my notebook hard drive to 320 megs. That was enough to trigger it. Why does Microsoft make its paying customers go through telephone hell? Why? I had to type in a something like a 20 or 30 digits into the phone and then explain myself to someone halfway across the world.

Flash forward to several months after the launch of the XBOX 360. Next gen graphics, I said. Hmm. A powerful console for the price of a high-end graphics card upgrade. The games turned out to be awesome. But I’m now playing them on my FOURTH XBOX 360. My fourth!!!! Red. Ring. of. Dammit, Microsoft!

Jason, terrible ME, activation hell in XP, and the Red RingS of Death. We want (some of) your stuff Microsoft, but we can’t stand the abuse.

P.S. Apple’s far from perfect, but they managed to pull off the unbelievable triumph of moving processor architectures (twice!). Cred. where due
