Re: MacBook pro - OT

I'm not why or where this topic went to "is Mac well suited or better then Windows in an enterprise environment??"

I don't need AD nor do I want it... And I think that Apple gave me good enough support via their call center or the genius bar (well maybe not so genius) certainly more support then what I had coming with a Windows box...

So maybe not all users everywhere but for me, a CCIE, I think I get out more value out of my Mac then I did out of my old Windows stuff...

And yes, I still need to run tests laptops with Lynx and other MS products so it's not like I never work with Windows 7.

Tks,
-Carl
