I like Macs

by Jason Bean on May 2nd, 2006

To clarify just a little bit, I like Macs. They’re just not my currently preferred hardware of choice. Given my recent post you may have thought otherwise. If I were in the market for a new computer, I might choose a Mac over a PC. There are some factors that will go against that like price, peripherals, etc.

It’s interesting that my friend also recently commented on the same commercial I did, but from the other angle. Let me also clarify that from a marketing perspective, it was a good commercial. Apple definitely got their point across. The most interesting comment from my friend though was what he shared that he heard in a podcast. That maybe the whole purpose of the Boot Camp functionality is to get back into the educational system. He shared:

Now, with the ability to run both platforms and use the educational software and games you have, you can have an easy-to-operate, safe network of Macs running the software made to run on your PC.

That my friends is a very interesting strategy that I have not heard before and think really could be key. My only experience with Apple’s and Macs has been in an educational setting. First with Apple IIe’s and stuff, then later in college with a small Mac lab I used for doing some desktop publishing.
