Edited for clarity; it's been some time since I've logged into a DDC site.


I'll agree that there are some potential pitfalls to this equation, but I'll note that I ran a computer lab back in my college days.  At first, it was four PCs, then three PCs and a hand-me-down Mac (still on OS X).  The Mac had far fewer problems staying up.  When the time came to replace these computers, I pressed for four iMacs running both OS X (Leopard, I think was the current version then) and Windows XP in a dual-boot setup.  When all I had to do to fix any Windows problem was jump into the OS X administrator account and re-image, life got a LOT easier.


For all the similar problems I run into among salespeople (we have IT staff, but not onsite...you know what happens then), I long for the day I can say an iPad would do what they need.  Much harder (though not impossible) for a salesman to bork its software.
