To the same extent that PCs work.

The problem with Macs is that they are so severely limited in the
software they run. They don't run several programs I absolutely must
have (even on Intel CPS and under an emulator).


Several of my colleagues have Macs for a desktop web brower, Word and
Powerpoint machine ... and that's ALL they use them for ... their real
work is done either on a PC or under Linux.

But you've admitted that you are unqualified to make such a claim.

If you hadn't just admitted that you don't really know then I'd call
you a liar for that obviously false statement.

I run Win7 on my Mac. I could also run Linux. Even all three at the
same time. What software doesn't run on one of those platforms?
