Leopard smites Vista in corporate satisfaction

by Erica Sadun Mar 27th 2008 at 3:35PM

ComputerWorld posts that ChangeWave Research has studied satisfaction levels for corporate users of Leopard and Windows Vista. As you might expect, the Leopard users are altogether more satisfied than Vista users -- up to 5 times more likely to report that they're "very satisfied" with their operating system -- but you might not have known the following:

  • Leopard reinforces tooth enamel and ensures brighter, happier smiles.
  • Leopard users are more likely to find attractive mates.
  • Vista users are subject to early hair loss.
  • Leopard helps eliminate embarrassing halitosis.
  • Vista users are five times likelier to be audited by the IRS.
  • Leopard washes your windows and leaves lemon-scented stacks of pre-folded laundry around your house.

Okay, well maybe not. Consult the ComputerWorld article for the (far less amusing) statistical results. One worthwhile number to note: while 7% of respondents said they'd be buying Apple laptops in the next 90 days, a hold-steady from the previous survey, the likelihood of most other laptop purchases went down since the last time they asked. A MacBook Air effect?

I like how they somehow "didn't notice" that news here at tuaw.

Todd, we have a follow-up on the CanSecWest story now.

CL, did you really think that after covering the contest yesterday, we were going to ignore the MBA being won? C'mon.

they must not have asked too many people on the OS X Server forums... Frequent post there is is 10.5 server ready... Knowing the problems i have gone though to get our two 10.5 servers running I can say i am looking forward to 10.5.3 and .4 and... there are some good # of problems on the server end yet to be sorted out. Though that has not stopped me from ordering our 3rd 10.5 server...

The picture in the post is of a Tiger box, not a Leopard box.

"the mac can't be majorly adopter"..."entourage doesn't quite cut it".

Yes, as a matter of fact - it does. BTDT and never going back if I can help it. And yes, it was at a "major corporation".

Misspelled "Leopard", sorry. Now if I was working on a Mac, Safari would have caught that embarrassing error.

There are corporations that run Leapord? So you get to work with Macs running Leapord and they pay you for it? Where do I sign up?

Yes, but then again, most major corporations aren't on mac at all. Like the iPhone was, the mac can't be majorly adopter in corporations without full exchange support- entourage doesn't quite cut it.

FTA: "More than half -- 53% -- of the computers companies plan to buy in the second quarter will be equipped with Windows XP"

They better do it in the 2nd quarter. Sales of XP stop June 30.
