Mac Use Up at Yale
There’s an interesting article at YaleDailyNews.com that discusses a resurgence in interest in the Macintosh platform.
I think the headline (Tables turn in campus Mac vs. Windows feud) is a bit sensationalistic, but the comments made by students are interesting.
Rather than the tired, old refrains of “Macs suck”, “Macs always crash” or “Macs are too expensive” (although one does make that claim), the comments from the Windows crowd are more along the lines of “I’m mostly doing word processing; buying a Mac seems like overkill”.
Even the IT department is vendor-neutral.
