[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 1007941, member: 29446"] Adobe on a PC is like Adobe on an Apple. Really. And people saying that the IT guys should mind their own business or that they're jealous are just rediculous. If you have the IT department questioning whether or not the design department should go with a PC that can do the exact same job, then you probably have a finance department asking the IT department why they're spending $2000+ on one computer when for $2000 they could buy 2 computers or pay the lease (yes, tech companies lease computers and support which works out nicely in the real world) on computers for the whole department for a whole year. Unless there are programs that will only run on OS X, then they can use any computer to do their job. I was "raised" on PCs. I own Apple computers and products. I do work in the IT field. I also understand that it's not an Apple vs. PC thing and that it's business decisions that drive what people use in a work environment. Last year we had maybe 5-10 reported viruses. That's for over 300 people. That's roughly 3% of the people in our office that had virii. That's a pretty low number, but then again we have a pretty good defence against that stuff. We have backup computers for when those occurences happen and I'd say interruption to productivity is almost non existant. [/QUOTE]
