Now it's Macs exclusively - Imac with 2nd monitor on the desk, Macbook to take out of the office, Ye Olde G4 as a file server, and Iphone in my pocket. I occasionally do something that requires another OS - webserver tweaks to try out under Linux, email campaigns to test in Outlook, stuff like that.. Fine, I just load whatever I need in a Virtual Machine on one of the Macs. I have icons for Internet Explorer, Outlook 2007, and Word and Excel (Windows versions) on my Imac's Dock. It's not uncommon for me to be running Linux, Windows, and OS X all at the same time on the same machine... <strong>Simon Garlick</strong> (Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/simongarlick" rel="nofollow">@simongarlick</a>) I too spent time in the wilderness, but my experiences with beta builds of Windows Vista brought me back.

It struck me that if Apple was such a forward thinking company to employ a woman in the top job, then they really were committed to the Australian market. We were the first custom designed AppleCentre in Australia, not the same as the other stores, we had a leader who designed the flow and appearance himself, and it was a great store. I took a period of exile in the windows wilderness, and returned to Apple with my personal purchases of an iPhone and a Macbook pro. I can run the same apps as my windows colleagues, there is a lotus notes version available, citrix and webex work like a dream, and there is little or no administration required. Back in the early days of the iMac, the high profile company who used apple was Phillips Fox Lawyers - you can't get more enterprise than that...
