• Productivity issues (retraining, unhappiness of the people that have to do the work, relearning of shortcuts, slower going back and forth between programs/windows/files, windows asks for permission for everything, start using new programs like new html editors, etc...)
• They should not dictate what you use on a daily basis to perform your tasks. It's your job and you would know better.
• macs are simpler, easier to operate for the user.
• software compatibility issues (photoshop, illy, flash, premier, etc...). Would would have to spend money of pc version of software, no?
• font issues. ther'e opentype, truetype, pc postscript, mac postscript, not all your *tools* (fonts) will work, unless someone spends time (or money) on font conversion. You might also have to issues with your current font management software.
• macs are more usable and convenient than pcs for designers. There's tons of designer goodies out there that are only available for the macs.
• If macs are used for design all around the world... with total succes and no know issues... how come your bunch of IT guys can't work with them? makes them incompetent or lazy. They shouldn't reinvent the wheel. State that macs are sorta industry standard for designers.
• Not so many security concerns (viruses, etc...)
• mans need less maintenance therefore cheaper as time is not wasted (this is why IT guys need pcs around).
• Assume most of the designers in that place own their own macbook and shit... it's makes all the sense in the world to keep the macs at work as well.
• After a while, some will eventually move on and find new jobs... there's a chance that when this people find new jobs they'll need to readjust themselves again to working with macs coz macs are standard in the design business.
• simple logic — if macs are by far the most dominant system in the industry, why change things at you office?
• macs are better to work with ith large projects that require several program and files opened at the same time.- Thank you, thank you, thank you.TruffleShuffler
