Ever wondered what it’s like to use a Macintosh in a large company? On this week’s Buzzword Bingo, we hear from two real enterprise Mac users, one of whom has switched back to Windows. Sal Collora and Shane Lisenbea join us for a spirited debate between Windows and Mac in the enterprise.

  • Love the show. I'm using a Macbook Pro, travelling 46+ wks/year. Good road warrior notebook. By the way, I don't care whether it has a pretty interface or not -- I use a web browser and Unix dev for almost all of my work, and my Mac lets me live very close to the technology stack that I care about. I use my VMWare Fusion instance less and less...
  • Glad you like the show, Scott! I have a new episode edited and ready for upload today. I've been using Windows XP and Windows 7 for some studio experimentation lately and I have to say that Windows is architecturally inferior to the Mac with multimedia. I thought Windows 7 might fix some of those issues, but it does not. Core Audio on the Mac is an amazing feature that we don't talk about enough.
  • Good point, Erwin. Corey said the same thing about his XP laptop in Episode 1. I guess you have to be a Windows expert to enjoy your experience on a PC!

    If Mac's had decent games, I might dip my toe in. The real problem is enterprise. The market is pretty much lost. As an example look at most enterprises, they are not early adopters (in most cases). Look at Vista as an example, most enterprises still use XP which is younger than most of Jasons underware, yes, but still old. Companies will not move to Apple in significant form. Risk the the name of the game (and control). Also most financial systems (Peoplesoft, JDE, etc) are in the domain of the Windows world.... Anyway, good show guys.

    I find it interesting that Sal said the MAC guys have to do a lot of "tweaking" then went on to tell us how he had to "tweak" his PC to make it stable.
