IJWTS wow! Why can't I think of tnhigs like that?
LIauoM psnukrrfqemn
Why Microsoft will never beat the Mac by being Cheap. ------------------------Right now, I'm looking at my two favorite laptops. I priced them last night - $1999 for either the MacBook Pro, or the Sony Vaio. Yea, I know what you're thinking, no sane person would spend $2000 for a laptop. Now let's think about that. As an enterprise diagnostician dealing with high-end business and database servers, I make @$200/hr. And I used to work for Microsoft, which is where I learned to be this distrusting, and how to do this math. When I am out on the road, I depend on the laptops to hold and access the data I need to do my job - they can't fail. Over the years, MS sent me on the road with one of every new laptop ever built by a "technology" company. I learned to respect the old Compaq Armadas - we used them as hand-carry back-up machines for everything from big events, to server replacements. They more than passed the never-fail test - but at 20lbs apiece, they were "luggables" not "laptops". Never mind that they were >$7000 apiece. For personal use, I got all the newest "excitingly cheap" machines from other technology partners - and this is where I really learned my lessons about cheap PC's and laptops. A lot of people had warned me about a certain "high-performance"/"low-price" vendor, and when one of their machines failed on me at the least convenient of times, I angrily tore it apart and found an obviously bad board that had been jumpered, soldered and resold as new. Dissecting a handful more out of one of the lab "boneyards" turned up that there was no such thing as an "identical" machine from this vendor - which means, there was no way they could ever really test. The old saying is true, you get what you pay for. So how do you get a "Mac" experience from a PC? Do the homework and pay the price. Buy it like a Mac and treat it like a Mac. Buy top-quality hardware from a reliable consumer-products vendor, someone who produces OTHER consumer products that "just work". Like Sony and Apple. Buy it pre-built, pre-configured, and pre-installed with Windows, and test it before carefully adding only the applications that you actually need. Then put on the absolute best virus software you can afford, and when it tells you not to do something - don't do that. But that's expensive, restrictive and not at all what PC users want, so never mind.
