FT’s gadget guru reviews OS X

December 14, 2007

What’s this tidbit about then, guv’ner?

Q. Who should consider a Mac? Generally, a Mac is better suited to consumers than to business users. If you want a beautifully designed machine paired with perhaps the best operating system, a Mac is right for you. But you will pay a premium and have less access to third-party software and peripherals.

Ok – maybe most business users are tied to their Windows PC ways, but, I am curious:
1. What premium? There is no premium any more.
2. What popular software package is unavailable for the Mac? Maybe, SAS for consumers? This strawman needs to be thrown out along with (1).
3. What peripherals don’t work with the Mac these days? The cue-cat? I am sure there are some obscure peripherals that no one uses.

And then they wonder why they get complaints!
