Re: TIB: HAL
Just though I'd add some data to the argument:
Mac OS Beats Windows in Cost of Ownership
Michael Moon, director of executive programs at GISTICS, a respected media technology research firm, recently presented data at the Australia Seybold Seminar series that supports the premise that Mac OS-based computers are much less expensive to own than Windows-based computers. At the seminar, Moon presented slides with the following information.
Mac OS users, when compared with Windows users:
× Spend 38 fewer hours per year fussing with files
× Save U.S.$ 4,950 annually on support and training
× Use more software applications (14.3 vs. 8.3)
× Save U.S.$ 2,211 in their computer's three-year cost of ownership
× Earn U.S.$ 5.01 more per hour
× Constitute 62 percent of the top 10 percent in personal income
Mac OS (vs. Windows) firms:
× Earn U.S.$ 12.22 more revenue per hour of labor
× Produce U.S.$ 25,550 more in annual revenue per person
× Create U.S.$ 14,550 more profits per year per person
× Earn 32 percent more net profit per project
× Achieve platform payback in 7.2 months (vs. 13.9)
