Selling is a lot less about technical details than most people think.

As are U.S. presidential elections. Sorry, that just slipped out. heh

I agree with the comment about the perception of mac and pc users in a corporate environment. The PC users are more powerful which is why I found/find it surprising that there were/are even Mac CPU's at all in corporate situations nowadays - unless they are a whole Mac shop. I guess that Macs are perceived as providing a superior solution for certain applications even in non Mac environments else they wouldn't , or certain user blocks have skills not found
in the pool of corporate employees. Probably a combination of both I imagine. It does seem to come back to that Apple TV ad which delineates the difference between user types. To me, the comparison between Pascal and C developers could be portrayed similarly.

Unless you don't see the point in playing favorites, and you program in both/own and develop for both PC (Windows & Linux) plus own a Mac as well. Is taking sides when theres no need to really helping anything?
