Why isn't everyone using macs Why isn't everyone using Macs?  an interesting take from http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/10762/ In February, Apple displaced Dell to take the #1 spot in the western Europe education market, with15.2% share. A similar increase in their UK education market has seen the share rising to 12.5%. So, whatever Apple is doing is obviously working better than Davis' article would have readers believe. To paraphrase our "Take" on this subject back in March: IT people have been given the role of "decision makers" when they should not have that power. If CEOs and upper management in many industries want the upper hand over their competitors, they'd be smart to stop being lazy, learn about technology, investigate the Mac's advantages, take back their rightful decision-making power, and make the best technology decisions for their companies. Or hire people who are able and willing to do so. If it means they'll have to reduce their IT departments because Macs are less prone to trouble, so be it. Obviously, IT "pros" will not decide to move to the Mac platform if it means their staffing levels and power within the organization will be diminished. In our travels, we've found that the open-minded IT person, one who will seriously consider the Apple Mac option, is an extremely rare find. Apple will have an uphill battle breaking into corporate environments unless and until the decisions are made by people focused on benefits to the entire company, not by those who are choosing technology that helps bolster their own job security and power.
