Over at MacNN there’s an article on a study conducted by King Research, interesting enough, it shows that IT Professionals are preferring Mac over installing Vista.

I’m not a fan of PC’s but for myself, installing Vista is such a lame excuse to move to Mac. As an IT Professional myself, Linux System Administrator, I can find no positive reasons to utilize a PC other than for the displaying of web pages on Internet Explorer vs Firefox and Safari.

Here’s a specific IT reason to utilize a Mac vs a PC. On the day I received my Mac, I opened the pretty box, plugged it into an outlet, turned on the power, and immediately I was connected to the internet with Mac’s Airport Wireless Utility, and working directly on my hosting servers. The Mac terminal allows me easy access to SSH which is primarily where I am 80% of the day. On Windows, I would have had to sit there for hours first configuring my wireless internet connection, then installing countless software to connect to and work with my servers.

I have not yet tried, or even attempted any parts of Vista, but I’m going to be honest. If it takes me 2 minutes to get up and running at optimal performance on my Mac, why would I ever choose to spend countless hours on setting up a PC?
