Story: Is Apple on the way out?
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 14 October 2004, 10:32 AM)
My experience as a co-director of IT is that the switch to Linux comes from the Windows base not the Mac OS folks. Primarily, the switch also occurs because of the lack of security with MS Windows. It comes from people frustrated by a myriad of worms, viruses, explorer loop holes and poor MS programming.
They skin Linux to look like windows and go merrily on their way.(it is still only the high-end users though)
The ease of use offered by Mac OS X is still abolutely unparalleled. I don't see these people coming to me with Linux questions. I don't see these people asking me how to make their KDE desktop look like XP :)
I see MS as in trouble at this point. There's not much loyalty on the MS side.
