“I have consistently moaned about my Lenovo X60S since I received it 9 months ago. Well, after a few more crashes, an ever looser WiFi toggle switch and a few other issues, I finally made the move. 3 weeks ago I ordered a MacBook Pro. Today I received it from IT after I went through a tutorial yesterday,” Michael Eisenberg writes for SeekingAlpha.

The apple platform is very smart, and yes with virtualization you can run everything very easily, however the technology still needs to evolve a bit more for it to become mainstream, and there are those people who having a mac with virtualization software to run Visio, Project etc seems a bit too difficult, in the meantime then the mac remains an effective platform for many, just as with anything deployed in the right way to the right people.

  1. Yes, Mac is the platform – but I don’t think the platform that has to evolve more, it’s the people who have to evolve. ;-)
    Also, if you need something like Visio on the Mac, try OmniGraffle instead. It has Visio importers and exporters, and everyone I have shown it to seems to prefer it over Visio.
