So? McDonalds still sells mass quantities of ****ty burgers.


That is a false equivalency but you can't deny that there is far more
business software written to the Wintel platform than for Apple.

At my wife's place, her boss has an apple hard on and he insisted that
when they went to a tablet based order system, that they go with
I-pads. It turned out that the apps were few and far between and it
would not directly interface with their accounting software so they
ended up with a kludge that made more work for everyone.

These days businesses do far more with computers than Office apps.
This is just a small country club in SW Florida and they have a dozen
separate computer apps. It is everything from the gate system to
scheduling tee times online and running the food business. The people
in the office need to understand all of them.
