Users of the sleek silver slithers may feel like they work on their own little islands, but for the IT staff managing them, these islands are no paradise, more like purgatory! Security auditors: they don’t do ‘different’ Your typical ‘Windows educated IT staff still views the workplace Mac with a general sense of ‘dis-location, with a tinge of envy’. That said, Macs are still very much in the minority. It’s no longer the case of there being ‘just one annoying guy’ either. Today, at FastTrack Software, I am regularly supporting customers that run Mac OS. When Windows 10 arrived, I was relieved to go back to ‘Bill’s best OS yet. The Mac OS user experience had become not a whole lot that ‘Different’ from that of a PC. No viruses or malware, lightning fast start-up times, rock solid reliability, no pre-loaded bloat-ware and no late night quarterly Windows re-installs.Ī decade of mass-consumerisation later (with a proliferation of iClouds and Garage Bands etc), MacOS lost its sleekness. I admit, back in 2005, I was the one in our office that decided to ‘ Think Different’ and be ‘ the annoying guy with the Mac.’ It wasn’t about computer snobbery (honest), for me, ‘ Different’ meant cutting through the daily PC treacle, getting stuff done.
