Macs Cost Less to Support – Recent IT Study Says
Here’s something that came as no surprise: A recent survey of enterprise IT managers that administer both PCs and Macs finds that Macs have a lower TOC (total cost of ownership) than Windows boxes, and require less user training and help. It came as no surprise because Macs have a reputation for ease-of-use. Most business employees need a computer as a tool and they could care less what you gave them as long as it made them more productive with little effort. Virus infections and disk fragmentation are non-issues on Macs. Apple takes care of both the software AND hardware updates. As a rule they are problem free.
One wonders why it took IT so long to catch on. Likely Vista caused many IT shops to examine alternatives and if they asked their employees many would have said give me a Mac like I have at home. Little wonder they cost less to support.
