I saw a study that showed people more productive with the windows 95 .vs.
the macintosh.  I posted a message about that here a year ago.  Studies that
show that the macintosh are more productive were done prior to windows 95.
The Gartner group use to say that it was cheaper to own a macintosh because
of the support costs.  They know say a PC is cheaper.
