Good News on Mac ROI

Nucleus Research, which focuses on ROI and analysis, is in the midst of comparing Mac to PC ROI. Like Obama vs. Clinton, so far the early results have the Mac ahead. At one company studied, Macs have fewer problems which are solved faster.

I'd like to see more companies embracing the Mac -- not to give Steve Jobs more dough, or to reward what is arguably the most proprietary PC architecture in existence today, but to create competition for Microsoft.
