[X4U] Trying to get a Mac Laptop approved - Part 2

[Ken Schneider]

-- Continued from Part 1 --

- Additional costs from having to purchase and support two different  
operating system (i.e. need to purchase and manage additional XP  
license, anti-virus software etc.).

- Additional company support costs from supporting and difficulty  
managing non-standard software i.e. Mac OS, Mac AV, Windows XP Mac  
drivers.

- Additional support overhead costs maintaining a unique hardware  
setup. This means a unique supplier, unique parts and a unique setup  
which has a knock on effect. A simple example being when international  
users visit, sometimes they forget their power supply - because  
they're using standard Dells, we have spares and can sort them out. It  
may be hypothetical in your case but the principle still applies.
