Like Rats on a Sinking Ship

Axel Springer AG, one of Europe's largest newspaper publishers, is migrating its 10,000 employees at 150 newspapers in 30 countries to Apple Macintosh computers from PC's. They will be second only to Google as the largest corporate base of installed Macs in the world.

Here's the CEO of the company explaining why they made the move:



Ha ha! If you're like me and don't understand German, here are the four reasons they're making the switch as summarized in a Macworld article:

"Most of the company’s layout work was already being done on Macs
"Macs are more user friendly than other computers
"Apple creates the most elegant computers
"Macs are cheaper to buy and easier to maintain than they were in the past."

The migration away from PC's and the horrendous Microsoft operating system, Vista, is beginning. When the (German) people responsible for Mercedes-Benz autos and other precision/quality products move to Macs . . . . If you're still using a PC, don't be the last to see the light.
