Default Did anyone hear.. about IBM?

I was reading online tech news somewhere and found out that IBM are planning to switch all their employees from Windows computers to Macs. Has anyone heard this too?...

There's a world of difference between "IBM are planning to switch all their employees from Windows computers to Macs" and a pilot project rolling out at most 150 Mac laptops as alternatives to Thinkpads by the end of 2008. Where on earth did the "all their employees" bit come from? For one thing, it's about laptops! "The pilot program document outlined a series of reasons for evaluating MacBook Pro laptops as a replacement for the Windows-based ThinkPads currently in use inside the company".

I do think Mac is the best, it's more practical for everything I do. Have you ever owned a Mac?
