I have worked on the Mac for 17 years but recently, in order not to look like a person hanging on to the past, had the IT people get me a Dell running XP.
While it's ok, it's not easy at all. It feels old compared to OSX. OSX is fast, quick and easy.....Productive.
The XP is very limited, very cumbersome.
When I plug into the mac.....it's fun......PC......not so fun.
XP seems pretty stable, OS is very stable. When I travel, the XP has a hard time connecting to the wireless conncetion in the hotel room, the mac.....no problem.
I don't have to check a bunch of boxes and change a bunch of settings. Again, sometimes it works, most of the time no.
Drag and drop: Mac, easy. XP, sometimes easy, sometimes not so easy, sometimes easy but VERY slow. Sometimes not easy and VERY slow.
Icons, Folders, etc: mac, make them any size you want, XP, five choices unless you change the entire screen size.
When will corporate American embrace the Mac? It's just more productive AND fun!!!!!!!!!
