Wow, a big topic. One benefit will be virtually no viruses, no money lost to viruses, no redoing of thousands of dollars of work due to viruses (my lawyer had to redo a big job for me due to this). This alone makes Macs the cheapest machines on the planet. Do your employees play games after hours? A major complaint of companies that use Macs is that there aren't as many games for the Mac, which is of course good for your friends who owns a company. Basically, there are many reasons to switch and no reasons not to switch, unless you have a core reason to stay with Microsoft, e.g. you use a special CAD app or have to use something like Access (if this is the case you should switch to Filemaker anyway). -- ________________________________ J-LIST http://www.jlist.com Thousands of unique products from Japan, from Hello Kitty toilet paper to miniature sushi to our world-famous "I'm looking for a Japanese girlfriend" T-shirts.
