From the Mac Observer - Apple, Microsoft and the War Mentality Here's a thought-provoking essay that makes a number of good points and asks a number of good questions about the IT world's continued reliance on Microsoft Windows despite clear evidence that it's a losing battle. In one of the author's most astute moments, he compares IT's war to shore up Microsoft Windows to the Bush Administration's war against terror. That's actually quite a good analogy. The author's perspective is the same as the one from which I wrote "Protecting Windows: How PC Malware Became A Way of Life" a couple of months ago.
