Please be more specific - what do you mean by "easier to manage"??? I'm curious because I "manage" over 230 computers running Mac OS X, and most of it I can do right from the computer on my desk. This includes imaging a hard drive via netboot, updating software, and observing or taking control or screen sharing of remote computers anywhere in the building. What exactly is it that is "unmanageable" about your OS X machines? What, specifically, can you do to manage your XP computers that you can't manage with your OS X ones?
Finally someone asks the right question. Let me break it down for you:
1) PCs are open-ended hardware platforms. This allows for infinite customizability, whereas with a Mac you're stuck with their platoform. Also, because of open hardware, it's far easier to diagnose and repair a PC. No "Sad Mac Syndrome".
2) Macs are not as easily "imaged" as a PC can be. The utilities (ie Carbon Copy cloner) don't even come close to what's available for PCs.
3) Seeing as 90% of the world is PC-centric, it becomes imperative in the Mac world to have to be able to connect to Active Directory and the like. Know how much time our OSX conversion staff has gone through to create a desktop that will integrate with our PC platform?
I could go on, but I'm lazy today.

You act as if this is the first time that something liek this has happened in American history.
If you think it's so, I suggest you do some research on Standard Oil, US Steel and Union Pacific.

"Earthlink and WebRoot Software have completed a quarterly spyware audit, documenting the current malware plague:
Results from the report, which tracked the growth of spyware on consumer PCs since the report's inception on January 1, 2004, show the instances of system monitors rose 230 percent, while the instances of Trojans rose 114 percent from October 2004 to December 2004. Trojans, keystroke loggers and system monitors are capable of capturing keystrokes, online screenshots, and personally identifiable information like your social security number, bank account numbers, logins and passwords, or credit card numbers. "
Yes, well, ever try imaging a mac hard drive?
Get an unfixable virus on a PC? NO PROBLEMO! Just re-image it.

A cancer? Come on now.
I hate Microshaft as much as the next guy, but 90% of the world's PCs run on Windows. More people by a wide margin use Office over any other app.
A cancer? I think not. They've got to be doing SOMETHING right, even if it isn't as pretty as Mac.
As an aside, I work in a mixed shop (some OSX, lotsa XP) and as a professional, I'd say XP is FAR easier to manage than OSX.

My advice:
Don't get em.
I had them a few years back, and unless you include the cost of hotel and travel expenses, not to metntion the time involved, it ain't worth it.

Mike, you should no better than to entertain an idiot like the person you responded to (jt 34).
Also, I resent the tone of the original post. One jackass in Waterbury, NY and we should all question the character and stability of our local police? :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
As you say, there are bad apples all over, but I have found police officers to have extremely high character. Cops, instead of lashing out at others, usually act out against themselves. As a profession, cops tend to "lead the league" in suicide, divorce and alcoholism. Couple this with low pay and weird hours and it can be a rough ride. It can also be a good ride. The following is my advice to you....
1. Be nice to your wife. She can take your pension at her leisure, as well as your house. You will have a better life anyway by having a better marriage. It makes sense.
2. Plan now for your retirement and get out the day you can. Fatten your pension with overtime. You deserve it.
3. Maintain friendships with non-cops. A different perspective is mandatory.
4. Above all, be careful. Cops as an everyday thing race to jobs like "man with a gun" or "shots fired." This lends itself toward an officer being casual about it. Watch ther car stops, and just let vans go unless you absolutely have to stop them. There is NO safe way to stop one. Screw it.
Be well, succeed, and dont be offended by jackasses. It amazes me, but despite the drawbacks I listed above, you will find that many are jealous of cops, as silly as this may sound.
God Bless.

You know, I once saw a recruitment poster for the LAPD. I seriously considered it because at the time I was pretty much homeless and hungry.
I joined the Army instead.

The UN is proof of humanity's inherent evil nature. Created as a "do-good" organization, it's become just another waste of the labors of mankind.

What ever happened to NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION?
My representative and Senator (Dent and Specter), while Republicans, are still big tax and spenders. No Dimocrat would ever represent my views, so how is it I'm being 'represented'.
I'm a repressed minority is what I am! Give me special tax-exempt status!!

Molson Export Ale is very good. Labatt Blue, Old Vienna are my standard cheap beers. Old Vienna still sells for $4.99 a 12 pack at the Rite-Aid on my corner.
Just say OV ? You betcha.
I find myself drinking lots of Sam Adams Lager and Winter Ale. My favorites. Killian is a good Amber.
Lite beer. Never
Amstel Light is pretty good.

Someone wrote a book about Hubbard and the founding of Scientology.
L Ron Hubbard was the living embodiment of Hitler's maxim that people would believe the big lie far more readily than the small lie.
His whole LIFE was a lie.

I'll bite:
I don't care WHO the President is. If we are in a state of CEASE_FIRE with another country, and that country is in violation of the terms of the CEASE-FIRE, then that country should be dealt with harshly and appropriaterly.
