No, it's not. Given the choice, I'll use any OS other than Windows. I see nothing good coming from supporting a monopoly, especially one that has created more problems than it's solved.

As for the duties of an IT department, I remind you that any IT department is only part of a company. It is not the company, and is not and should not be more important than any other department. Allowing IT to limit choices of computer types is like letting the accountants decide they don't want to deal with inventory or taxes.

OK, this is a continuation of the discussion from another thread, where it had become old. cwtnospam and CAlvarez, how about you PM each other to continue your discussion.

As the issue of whether "PC users blindly hate Macs" cannot ever be anything but a judgmental opinion ("blindly," being an unprovable assumption), I'm thinking this thread has no real future. With a concurring vote from a moderator, we'll close it down.

Religion choice and computer choice, although they are different, are personal choices which do not need to affect other people negatively. Therefore, as long as they do not affect other people negatively, they should be unassailable. "....right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of OS happiness." However, because this choice is so personal, people get easily inflamed over it. That is why there is such animosity on both sides. There is just more animosity on the Windows side because there are more predominate (10% of 3 % is 0.3% Mac animosity toward Windows and 10% of 90% is 9% Windows animosity toward Macs.

Suits me. I'm not a big fan of promoting blindness.

Okey dokey. ;)
