It i 't newsworthy when a Windows users, formerly biased agai t Macs in the enterprise, changes his mind. Unle , of course, that Windows users ha e to be John Halamka, CIO of Harvard Medical School and CareGroup. This man i 't your typical user.As part of an article for CIO Halamka tried out 3 different machines for a month each to evaluate whether they would be viable replacements for his Windows machine. The first was a MacBook (couldn't they have rung for a MacBook Pro?), the second a ThinkPad ru ing RedHat, and the third a Dell su otebook ru ing Windows XP. The twist being that after Halamka shares his thoughts with CIO magazine an expert in each machine type comments on his experiences. The Mac expert is the always dashing Jason ell from Macworld.
The conclusion? The Dell su otebook ru ing OS X would be Halamka's ideal machine (he likes the fact that the Dell is smaller and puts out le heat), sadly that doe 't exist. Read the whole article for all the gory details.
