"And another one down, and another one down, and another one bits "the last of the MS dust!

"These news releases must really chaff Ballmer's a*s!!!"

Isn't it great?

MSFT's shareholders really need to kick that clown to the curb.

get'em while they're young and they'll be yours forever

Let's give the SMU guru's credit where it is due, they are hedging their fence in a way others have been hesitant to.

The upshot of this is that all their students will be trained on a Mac whatever OS they use, meaning that they will be the future movers and shakers in industry demanding their employers invest on platforms they are comfortable working with.

So in a few years time, it will be M$ 20% against Mac 60% on the basis that M$ will retain that margin from legacy users through Mac/Intel, others will comprise Linux and Google for users who do not wish to pay for software.

Those crazy southern Methodist.....

Wouldn't those computers have to upgrade to Leopard in order to get Bootcamp now? Bootcamp was only Beta in Tiger.

@en

Who's "Ballmer"?

"Moving to an environment where low-level limitations such as operating systems and drivers disappear will make people more productive and organizations more integrated and effective."

Never have truer words about Winblows been written.

Had Steve donated the computers, we might have seen a wing named after him, such as the Cox's School of Business, Job's Mac Department, or Cox School O' B J's Mac Unit, for short....

Uuuuh huh huh...you said Cox.

SMU could of saved more money by using iWork instead of Office for Mac.

Pages would create great looking documents and using Keynote would make their presentations absolutely kick ass. Great looking presentations and documents make fantastic impressions in the world of business.

Chaffing Ballmer's Balls more likely!

Balmer's staff have allready swapped all office chairs with inflatable furnitures... Now they laugh each time someone gets a chair thrown upon! )

@loopy_nj

It is most likely that those Macs SMU will have Leopard preinstalled because it takes a while to roll out the entire order to completion.

School of Business? Business?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

OMG....I can't stop laughing HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Awesome!

Take THAT Beau! (listeners of the PC/MAC SMACKDOWN show will get the reference)

Has no one noticed that the main reason they upgraded this way is so they can run MacOS X AND Windows. That means they're still going to be buying software from Windows.

The Good Thing™ in all this is more Mac exposure and more Mac sales, but we have a long, long way to go if we want to take over Microsoft's operating system market share.

MW = began, as in "It's already began..." (okay so that would be "begun" but whatever. I was on a creative roll....

Congratulations to the future business leaders of America, who will be expert enough and experienced enough once they arrive in the work world to not listen to entrenched IT retards whose only interest is preserving their relevancy by recommending Windows PCs to the exclusion of anything else, even if that something else is better and more secure.

Speaking of IT staff, kudos to SMU's enlightened and visionary Allen Gwinn and Amit Basu, who are awake and aware enough to see the future, and it is Mac. The higher-ups who had to sign off on a move like this also deserve a special shout-out for wanting the absolute best experience for their end-users, the students! Going Mac can only enhance Cox Business School's already stellar reputation.

As Mac fans/users ourselves, we should expect to see more and more stories just like this in the next 12-18 months.

Peace.

Don't these people understand that successful businesses use PCs with Windows? With the exception of Apple, who else uses Macs as their computer of choice? Forget it, boy, you ain't goin' to SMU. Why you're goin' to daddy's alma mater, Havard!

Wait until the next virus or worm hits. The Windows XP side will be kaput, while the OS X side will continue working. That'll get a few more minds thinking.

Harvard huh? I hear they have an even higher incidence of Macs on campus than SMU.

Maybe you meant "higher percentage" rather than "higher incidence" of Macs on campus at Havard than SMU. Unless, of course, you consider Mac usage a form of social disease.

Or maybe you just don't understand sarcasm.

Actually I chose "incidence" on purpose to go along with the tone of the post that I feel inferred that Macs are inferior. As to what you refer to as sarcasm, I feel the writing in this case is not obviously sarcasm. It is very close to some serious troll baiters actual posts. This post could be interpreted either way. I chose to believe it was a troll. Sue me.

Note to self: Avoid recruiting from the "business" school that spends it 's time training people on obsolete office versions, on home operating system.

What else do the teach, Abacus 101? Home Movies 101? How to use other newfangled devices like the Telephone and Fax?

Does Vista come with knee pads or is that a third party after sale purchase?

Does anyone remember that 80's era Apple commercial that had dozens of students walking onto campus all carrying their Macintosh 9" Pluses at their side?

Mac is Back Baby!

Magic Word: "hope", as in "there is hope for afflicted Windows users"

Why don't you explain your sheer shining intelligence so the rest of us can bask in the dazzling brilliance of your deductive reasoning.

No sarcasm intended!

Looked at their site, Such great marketing lines As Cox today, Search Cox, and About Cox.

Excuse me. I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called me a quitter. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Foot pads to detox.
