Making the Switch, Living with a MacBookPro
Making the switch part 1 of ?
[Background]
First things first… I am a reformed Apple bigot. Yes once upon a time, there was a time when I’d rather die than be forced to use Windows. Think Different, think back oh, around the System 7 days.
I used a Mac whenever I could use a Mac and I was absolutely sure I was far more productive on the Mac than any Microsoft based operating system.
Back in the day I was lucky enough to work for a company that used Mac’s as much as Windows based boxes. We were a Premier Apple developer and did a number of high profile projects for Apple Enterprise. Back when Apple had a group dedicated to Enterprise. This was around the time they were desperately working on Copland, and before Steve’s 2nd stint as the man in charge.
Out of nowhere Apple killed the Enterprise team and decided it wouldn’t try to continue to play in that sandbox. (Remember this was pre OS X, pre X Serve’s and that the goodness that they would bring). As a company our hands were forced. At the time we got nearly 80% of or business from the Apple Enterprise group and we needed a backup plan since that was drying up.
Enter our immersion in the world of Bill.
