• I will agree with dhavleak. @ Random Walk -- Gmail has only about 10% of features that are available in Exchange. And by the way, companies use public folders. And guess what, you can't share contacts in Gmail. Thats feature alone has turned many customers to Microsoft. I can go on and on with features that Gmail is missing. How about denying access to employee from home, or to a mailbox during specific hours, or having multiple aliases, or different reply to addresses, or monitoring employees, or answering on behalf......... I'm just starting. So really, before you talk why don't you pickup a book and lear what Exchange can do firts.
  
  Before hating something try to test drive it firts, open a book or look at the demo. And to Linux dude, Linux is just like a Gmail, its missing features, support, updated drives. In reply to: "Microsoft chops price of its hosted software"

• Switch from Dell to Apple. Have you ever opened Apple? Components are almost the same inside as Dell, however you pay 40% more. Yes, you can run Unix Apps, nice. You can run Windows. Nice. But are you buying windows license? Most people that run Wndows on their Mac (my observation) just borrow it. They never pay for it. Is that fair? Microsoft needs to look in to this. Apple as a monopoly going, using Windows Capable as their advertising line, and by the way don't tell people in the store that Windows must be purchased.

• consumer reports? Do you really trust them while buying a car? I own an IT consulting compay and 95% of our clients run Dell equipment, and have been doing so for the last 8 yesrs. Well guess what? Dells tech support is great. Amazing. They come out in 4 hours or next day, they will send you parts, call you, email you, follow up. I think people are frustrated with Windows and Spyware and take their frustration at the manufacturers. Dell is not responsible for Microsoft's issues. Just wait till Apple takes more market share, they will have the same issues, spyware, viruses. By the way, Apple's corporate support is ZERO
  SO IF YOU ARE NOT IN IT BUSSINESS, PLEASE STOP WRITING STUFF THAT YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ON. In reply to: "If Apple can go home again, why not Dell?"

• I don't agree with this article at all. I own an IT consulting company and Dell is our preffered hardware vendor. Their support is amazing. HP is not even close to that. And by the way, Apple's support is in store, not on site. So what are you comparing? I have multiple examples when HP, Copaq (same isn't it) or others dropped the ball or declined to even talk to a customer that was 4 days not in the warranty. It always a good thing to actually have experience in the field before writing such articles. Same goes for Consumer reports. I would never use that magazine for car quality research for example.

• I don't agree with the article. I own an IT consulting firm. I believe that if apple would let people run its OS on any hardware they would find much more customers. (talking about MAC, not Iphone) Comparing to other hardware manufacturers, Apple's hardware is much more expensive, its missing 3rd part enterprise options, and its not as flexible and adjustable like Dell for example. Speaking of quality and components - Apple uses Intel components inside, just like Dell. I believe motherboards, videocards and other parts are very similar and Leopard woud work great on Dell equipment, and it would be so much easier to sell right server equpment to a customer. Apple only has 2 server options.
  On Iphone - great product. But I refuse to switch my company to Iphone because I don't want to deal with ATT. Nothing wrong with ATT itself, its just I don't like to be forced to deal with one company only, and by the way they are more expensive then T-mobile lets say. Businesses look at operating cost, and I don't see why I have to pay $60 month exta per cell phone per month just because its Iphone.
  
  Customer service - maybe their Apple store has good support, but common. Today business expects 4 hour responce, onsite support. And by the way, Apple's phone support is not that great + you can not extend warranties as long as you can do that with other manufacturers. In reply to: "Revisiting Apple's iPhone strategy"
