Mac OS X: It just works
An option that's enterprise-worthy

The “it just works” quality of Mac OS X also saves a lot of time and frustration -- what your pro-Mac friends and colleagues have been telling you is definitely true. Several months ago, I bought a 120GB external FireWire hard drive for my home PC to use as a backup device. After about a month, my PC stopped recognizing the drive, so I tried the drive with another PC at work and the same thing happened. I foolishly lost my receipt for the expensive but still-warrantied drive, so I was stuck. Enter the Mac -- I plugged the drive into my G4 and it worked immediately. This is what makes Mac OS X so compelling: With decimated IT staffs getting slammed from without (Sobig.F) and within (frustrated end-users), something that just works is downright refreshing.
